Upper Respiratory Viral Infections in Patients with Haematological Malignancies after Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Retrospective Study

Abstract

The viral panel was positive in 64% of patients with acute URI symptoms. Lower lymphocyte count was detected in CRV-positive patients. The onset of concomitant bacterial or fungal infections increased the risk of lower respiratory infection disease. Indeed, prospective studies should be designed for risks and outcomes of CRVs in allo-HSCT recipients.
