Significant morbidity associated with RSV infection in immunosuppressed children following liver transplantation: case report and discussion regarding need of routine prophylaxis.

Abstract:

:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an important cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children. In immunocompromised children, RSV infection poses a serious health threat with significantly increased and prolonged virus shedding and the development of severe respiratory disease. We report two patients, eight months and 20 months of age, who were admitted with severe RSV infection two months and 10 months post-transplant respectively. Major risk factors for severe infection is the degree of immunosuppression and the age of the patient (<24 months). Based on the significant morbidity associated with RSV infection in these patients, we recommend randomized trials in larger pediatric solid organ transplant centers to evaluate the use of palivizumab prophylaxis is efficacious to prevent morbidity in patients under the age of 24 months, while we emphasize good hygienic practices to prevent RSV nosocomial infection.
