ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Community-acquired respiratory viruses (CARV) cause upper and lower respiratory tract infections (URTI/LRTI) and may be life-threatening for recipients of an allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT).METHODS:
In a prospective study encompassing 4 winter-seasons, we collected throat gargles (TG) at random time points from allo-SCT recipients (patients) and controls and followed them up for at least 3 weeks including repetitive sampling and documentation of symptoms. A Multiplex-PCR system to identify 20 CARV and Mycoplasma pneumoniae was used to detect CARV.RESULTS:
One hundred ninety-four patients with 426 TG and 273 controls with 549 TG were included. There were more patients with a positive test result (25% vs 11% in the controls), and the patients had a higher number of positive TG (70 = 16%) compared to controls (32 = 6%) (P < .001). Altogether, 115 viruses were detected. Multiple viruses in one TG (11/48, 34%) and prolonged shedding were only observed in patients (13/48, 27%). Patients had more RSV (18/83, 26%) and adenovirus (15/83, 21%) than controls (both viruses 2/32, 6%). Independent risk factors for the detection of CARV included age >40 years (OR 3.38, 95% CI 1.8-6.4, P < .001) and presence of URTI-symptoms (OR 3.22, 95% CI 1.9-5.5, P < .001). No controls developed a LRTI or died whereas 4/48 (8%) patients developed a LRTI (coronavirus in 2, RSV in 1 and influenza A H1N1 in 1 patient). One patient died of CARV (influenza A H1N1).CONCLUSION:
Allo-SCT-recipients have more CARV-infections, exhibit a different epidemiology, have more cases of co-infection or prolonged shedding and have a higher rate of LRTI and mortality.Palavras-chave
