    Document: Our study demonstrated that CRV-LRDs have a significant morbidity and mortality among SCT recipients; thus, the implement of an active diagnostic approach for CRV infection is required for SCT recipients with respiratory symptoms. For SCT recipients with LRDs caused by influenza, RSV, or HPIV infec-tions, those receiving high-dose steroid treatment or those with lymphopenia, early antiviral treatment should be considered; especially considering the fact that no vaccine is yet available for RSV and HPIV. Furthermore, infection control measures, including hand hygiene and respiratory droplet isolation, which reduce the occurrence of new infections and transmission, are important for CRVs without a specific antiviral treatment option, such as HRhV and HMPV. Finally, in order to prevent LRDs caused by influenza, which is the only CRV with an available vaccine, the annual seasonal influenza vaccination is recommended for all SCT recipients.
