Severity of respiratory-syncytial-virus and other respiratory viruses versus seasonal influenza amongst hospitalized cancer patients
RSV was more severe than influenza in hospitalized patients with cancer, but higher odds of severity were also observed for other RVIs (HMPV and adenovirus), underlining the need for new vaccines and therapeutics. Given the significant morbidity/mortality rates associated with nosocomial RVI, infection prevention is crucial in preventing outbreaks in this immunocompromised population.
