Respiratory Viral Infections in Solid Organ and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Grant C Paulsen et al. Clin Chest Med. 2017 Dec.

Abstract

Respiratory viruses are common in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients and a recognized cause of significant morbidity and mortality. Epidemiology, risk factors, and attributable mortality in both populations are reviewed. In addition, virus-specific prevention and treatment options, including emerging investigational therapies, are discussed for respiratory syncytial virus, influenza, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and other respiratory viruses.

Keywords: Hematopoietic stem cell transplant; Respiratory virus; Solid organ transplant.
