Community respiratory virus infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients and household member characteristics.
To determine if children or the number of contacts living in an immediate household increases the risk of community respiratory virus (CRV) acquisition in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. ⋯ Household contacts, particularly children, should be included in HSCT teaching.
