CVD—cardiovascular disease; CLD—Chronic liver disease; CKD—Chronic kidney disease; RTD—Respiratory tract disease; HIV—Human immunodeficiency virus infection; AID–Autoimmune disease; DTD—Digestive tract disease; mortality rate is statistically significant, with a value of <0.001 when compared to mortality rate of infections with C—Kp.
