Viral Respiratory Tract Infections in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Recipients in the Era of Molecular Testing 2018-03-09 .txt text/plain 3687 201 46 Viral respiratory tract infection (vRTI) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). This study aimed to assess the epidemiologic characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of vRTI occurring in the period from conditioning to 100 days after allo-HSCT in the era of molecular testing. Demographic and clinical data were collected from hospital clinical records using a case report form and included age, sex, underlying disease, previous therapy, stem cell source, conditioning therapy, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and outcomes (ie intensive care unit [ICU] admission and death). For patients with RV infection, the number of vRTIs, type of RVs, clinical presentation, antiviral therapy, and outcomes (ie, ICU admission, death, use of mechanical ventilation, and progression to lower respiratory tract infection [LRTI]) were also obtained during the 100-day period. ./cache/cord-276952-nkaow79h.txt ./txt/cord-276952-nkaow79h.txt
