lüll Management of RSV infections in adult recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation Shah JN; Chemaly RFBlood 2011[Mar]; 117 (10): 2755-63Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of seasonal respiratory viral infection in patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. RSV usually presents as an upper respiratory tract infection in this patient population but may progress rapidly to lower respiratory tract infection. Available therapies that have been used for the treatment of RSV infections are limited to ribavirin, intravenous immunoglobulin, and palivizumab. The use of aerosolized ribavirin, alone or in combination with either palivizumab or intravenous immunoglobulin, remains controversial. In this comprehensive review, we present and discuss the available literature on management of RSV infections in adult hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients with a focus on therapeutic modalities and outcomes.|Adult[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Antibodies, Monoclonal, Humanized[MESH]|Antibodies, Monoclonal/therapeutic use[MESH]|Antiviral Agents/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Clinical Trials as Topic[MESH]|Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation/*adverse effects[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immunocompromised Host[MESH]|Immunoglobulins, Intravenous/therapeutic use[MESH]|Palivizumab[MESH]|Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections/*drug therapy/*immunology[MESH]|Ribavirin/therapeutic use[MESH] |
