Abstract
Abstract
Background
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is increasingly recognized as a complication of severe influenza and coronavirus disease 2019. The extent to which other respiratory viral infections (RVIs) predispose to IPA is unclear.
Methods
We performed a retrospective review of IPA occurring within 90 days of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza, or adenovirus infections (noninfluenza respiratory viral infections [NI-RVIs]) in patients who underwent solid organ transplant between 1/15/2011 and 12/19/2017.
Results
At a median post-transplant follow-up of 43.4 months, 221 of 2986 patients (7.4%) developed 255 RSV, parainfluenza, or adenovirus infections. IPA complicating these NI-RVIs was exclusively observed in lung and small bowel transplant recipients, in whom incidence was 5% and 33%, respectively. Cumulative prednisone doses >140mg within 7 days and pneumonia at the time of NI-RVI were independent risk factors for IPA (odds ratio [OR], 22.6; 95% CI, 4.5–112; and OR, 7.2; 95% CI, 1.6–31.7; respectively). Mortality at 180 days following NI-RVI was 27% and 7% among patients with and without IPA, respectively (P = .04).
Conclusions
In conclusion, IPA can complicate RSV, parainfluenza, and adenovirus infection in lung and small bowel transplant recipients. Future research is needed on the epidemiology of IPA complicating various RVIs. In the interim, physicians should be aware of this complication.
