    Document: A prospective randomized study of ribavirin and IVIG administration, or of newer therapeutic agents under development for treatment of paramyxovirus infections [24, 25] , would be helpful given the high morbidity associated with hMPV in the immunocompromised population. In particular, a study of the use of novel agents, including fusion inhibitors [26] , could be studied in this population given their potential to serve as postexposure prophylaxis in high-risk individuals. The documentation of severe hMPV disease in immunocompromised children supports previous data documenting severe and fatal hMPV disease reported in adult HSCT recipients [9, 13] and highlights the need for treatment options in this population.
