Epidemiology and Clinical Impact of Confirmed Respiratory Viral Infections in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Respiratory viral infections (RVIs) can have distinct clinical presentations and outcomes in non‐lung solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients compared to non‐transplant and lung transplant patients. Understanding their impact is crucial for improving patient care and outcomes.
