Parainfluenza virus infections in hematopoietic cell transplant recipients and hematologic malignancy patients: A systematic review

Abstract: Parainfluenza viral infections are increasingly recognized as common causes of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients, particularly in hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients and hematologic malignancy (HM) patients because of their immunocompromised status and susceptibility to lower respiratory tract infections. Advances in diagnostic methods, including polymerase chain reaction, have led to increased identification and awareness of these infections. Lack of consensus on clinically significant end… Show more

“…PIV type 3 (PIV-3) is the most common subtype and a frequent cause of outbreaks among HCT recipients [68]. PIV can progress from upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) to lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD), resulting in mortality as high as 40–50% [3, 911]. Identification of risk factors for progression to LRTD and their relative importance is critical in clinical practice and designing clinical trials of novel drugs and immunotherapies.…”

“…Hospital-acquired viral infections are a particular problem in pediatric settings, with upwards of one-third of HAIs attributable to viruses (2). Hospital acquisition of human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) has been recognized as a particular problem among patients with cancer, including pediatric patients (3). In one study, 80% of HPIV infections in pediatric cancer patients were acquired in the hospital (4).…”

“…There are increasing numbers of patients undergoing HSCT with increasing complexity. However, there also are newer drugs being studied for the treatment of viral infections (i.e., adenovirus, parainfluneza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus) in this population and they offer a potential to suppress or eliminate these viruses throughout the peri-transplant continuum [16][17][18]. Further prospective studies will be needed to determine the clinical impact and optimal prevention and treatment strategies for RVI's in this population.…”
