Surveillance studies of respiratory viruses from transplant centers have established the high frequency and the signifi cant clinical impact of respiratory viral infections in HSCT recipients overall [ 8 -15 , 46 , 47 ] as well as the relative importance of RSV in terms of morbidity and mortality (Table 31 -2 ). A retrospective MDACC study of confi rmed RSV infections in 280 allogeneic HSCT recipients from 1996 to 2009 utilized multivariable logistic regression to demonstrate that lack of ribavirin aerosol therapy at the upper respiratory tract disease stage was an important risk factor associated with RSV LRTI and all-cause mortality [ 99 ] . ./cache/cord-018302-lmly43rd.txt ./txt/cord-018302-lmly43rd.txt
