Current practices in the management of adenovirus infection in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients in Europe: The AdVance study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Adenovirus (AdV) infections are potentially life-threatening for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients. The AdVance study aimed to evaluate the incidence, management, and outcomes of AdV infections in European allo-HCT recipients.
