    Abstract Respiratory viral infections (RVIs) are among the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) and solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Transplant recipients remain at high risk for super imposed bacterial and fungal pneumonia, chronic graft dysfunction, and graft failure as a result of RVIs. Recent multicenter retrospective studies and prospective studies utilizing contemporary molecular diagnostic techniques have better delineated the epidemiology and outcomes of RVIs in pediatric transplant recipients and have advanced the development of preventative vaccines and treatment interventions in this population. In this review, we will define the epidemiology and outcomes of RVIs in SOT and HSCT recipients, describe the available assays for diagnosing a suspected RVI, highlight evolving management and vaccination strategies, review the risk of donor derived RVI in SOT recipients, and discuss considerations for delaying transplantation in the presence of an RVI.

    Abstract The management of respiratory viruses prior to hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) can be controversial and requires special consideration of host factors, transplant parameters, and the specific respiratory virus (RV). In the setting of adenovirus (ADV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), influenza, parainfluenza virus (PIV), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) detection prior to hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), clinical practice guidelines recommend transplant delay when possible; however, there is much more ambiguity when other respiratory viruses, such as seasonal coronaviruses (CoVs), human rhinovirus (HRV), and SARS-CoV-2, are detected. Our aims for this review include detailing clinical practical guidelines and reviewing current literature on pre-transplant respiratory viral infections (RVIs), including antiviral therapies and prevention strategies, when available. We will center our discussion on three representative clinical scenarios, with the goal of providing practical guidance to clinicians.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is common in children, and clinical manifestations can vary depending on age, underlying disease, and vaccination status. Most children will have asymptomatic or mild infection, but certain baseline characteristics can increase the risk of moderate to severe disease. The following article will provide an overview of the clinical manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 in children, including the post-infectious phenomenon called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. Currently available treatment and prophylaxis strategies will be outlined, with the caveat that new therapeutics and clinical efficacy data are constantly on the horizon.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Monoclonal antibody (mAb) administration represents an important strategy for preventing and treating respiratory viral infections in vulnerable populations, including immunocompromised individuals. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of mAbs in clinical use against respiratory viruses, highlight factors that modulate mAb clinical efficacy, and provide a perspective on future innovations in the field. This review focuses on publications from the last year.
    Recent findings: Historically, clinical development of a single mAb has taken over a decade. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that this timeframe can be reduced to less than a year and has catalyzed rapid innovations in the field. Several novel mAbs against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have received emergency use authorization by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the early treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19. However, the majority of these mAbs have ultimately failed due to the emergence of variants, highlighting an important lesson about predicting and countering resistance. Novel mAbs are also in clinical use or in late-stage development for the prevention of infection by SARS-CoV-2 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in vulnerable populations. Several factors can be modulated to improve the clinical efficacy of mAbs. For example, Fc modifications can extend mAb half-life and increase respiratory tract bioavailability, both of which are attractive properties for achieving protection against respiratory viruses.
    Summary: The mAb landscape is rapidly evolving with numerous examples of success and failure. The armamentarium of clinically-available mAbs to protect vulnerable populations is expected to undergo continued growth.

    Abstract Background: Rhinovirus (RV) infections can progress from the upper (URT) to lower (LRT) respiratory tract in immunocompromised individuals, causing high rates of fatal pneumonia. Little is known about how RV evolves within hosts during infection.
    Methods: We sequenced RV complete genomes from 12 hematopoietic cell transplant patients with infection for up to 190 days from both URT (nasal wash, NW) and LRT (bronchoalveolar lavage, BAL). Metagenomic and amplicon next-generation sequencing were used to track the emergence and evolution of intrahost single nucleotide variants (iSNVs).
    Results: Identical RV intrahost populations in matched NW and BAL specimens indicated no genetic adaptation is required for RV to progress from URT to LRT. Coding iSNVs were 2.3-fold more prevalent in capsid over nonstructural genes. iSNVs modeled were significantly more likely to be found in capsid surface residues, but were not preferentially located in known RV-neutralizing antibody epitopes. Newly emergent, genotype-matched iSNV haplotypes from immunocompromised individuals in 2008-2010 could be detected in Seattle-area community RV sequences in 2020-2021.
    Conclusions: RV infections in immunocompromised hosts can progress from URT to LRT with no specific evolutionary requirement. Capsid proteins carry the highest variability and emergent mutations can be detected in other, including future, RV sequences.

    Abstract Abstract: Respiratory viruses are commonly detected in both healthy and immunocompromised children. In most healthy children, respiratory viruses are associated with self-limited upper respiratory tract infections and are not accompanied by significant morbidity. In immunocompromised hosts, including hematopoietic cell transplant recipients, solid organ transplant recipients, and oncology patients, respiratory viruses can be associated with significant clinical manifestations, including prolonged viral shedding, lower respiratory tract disease, the need for supplemental oxygen, late airflow obstruction, and even death. This chapter reviews the major respiratory viruses, including respiratory syncytial virus, human metapneumovirus, influenza, parainfluenza viruses, human rhinoviruses, and human coronaviruses. Other viruses can manifest as pulmonary infection; however, these viruses are discussed elsewhere (see Chapter 17 for discussion of cytomegalovirus and Chapter 22 for discussion of adenoviruses).

    Abstract Background: Human rhinovirus (HRV) infections can progress from the upper (URT) to lower (LRT) respiratory tract in immunocompromised individuals, causing high rates of fatal pneumonia. Little is known about how HRV evolves within hosts during infection.
    Methods: We sequenced HRV complete genomes from 12 hematopoietic cell transplant patients with prolonged infection for up to 190 days from both URT (nasal wash, NW) and LRT (bronchoalveolar lavage, BAL) specimens. Metagenomic (mNGS) and amplicon-based NGS were used to study the emergence and evolution of intra-host single nucleotide variants (iSNVs).
    Results: Identical HRV intra-host populations in matched NW and BAL specimens indicated no genetic adaptation is required for HRV to progress from URT to LRT. Microbial composition between matched NW and BAL confirmed no cross-contamination during sampling procedure. Coding iSNVs were 2.3-fold more prevalent in capsid over non-structural genes, adjusted for length. iSNVs modeled onto HRV capsid structures were significantly more likely to be found in surface residues, but were not preferentially located in known HRV neutralizing antibody epitopes. Newly emergent, serotype-matched iSNV haplotypes from immunocompromised individuals from 2008-2010 could be detected in Seattle-area community HRV sequences from 2020-2021.
    Conclusion: HRV infections in immunocompromised hosts can progress from URT to LRT with no specific evolutionary requirement. Capsid proteins carry the highest variability and emergent mutations can be detected in other, including future, HRV sequences.

    Abstract Background: Pre-transplant respiratory virus (RV) infections have been associated with negative transplant outcomes in adult hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. In the era of HCT delay due to high-risk RVs, we examined the impact of pre-transplant RV detection on transplant outcomes in a pediatric HCT recipients.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included myeloablative allogeneic HCT recipients from 2010 to 2019. All patients were screened for RV at least once within 90 days before HCT using RT-PCR, regardless of symptoms. Post-transplant outcomes included days alive and out of hospital (DAOH) and progression to lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI).
    Results: Among 310 patients, 134 had a RV detected in the 90 days prior to HCT. In univariable analysis, transplant factors including younger age, total body irradiation, umbilical cord blood transplantation, lymphocyte count less than 100/mm3, and HCT comorbidity index score ≥3, and viral factors including symptomatic infection, human rhinovirus (HRV) as a virus type, and symptomatic pre-transplant upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) were associated with fewer DAOH. In multivariable analysis, transplant factors remained significant, but not viral factors. There was a higher incidence of progression to post-transplant LRTI with the same pre-transplant RV if the last positive PCR before HCT was ≤30 days compared to >30 days (p=0.007).
    Conclusion: In the setting of recommending HCT delay for high-risk RVs, symptomatic URTI, including HRV infections, may lead to increased duration of hospitalization and early progression to LRTI when transplantation is performed within 30 days of the last positive PCR test.
