212: Adenovirus (ADV) infections following allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) in children and adolescent recepients

Year: 2007
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: ADV is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing alloSCT. ADV infection rates are 4-6% in adults and as high as 47% in children following alloSCT (Hoffman et al BBMT 2001). The reported mortality rate for disseminated ADV ranges from 8-54 % with higher rates reported in patients with ADV pneumonia (73%) and disseminated disease (61%) (Ljungman, Eur J Clin Microbiol & Infect Dis, 2004). We sought to determine the incidence, demographics, site of disease, treatment course, and outcome of ADV infection in children and adolescents following alloSCT from 1/1/2000-12/31/04.
