We performed a prospective 2-year study to assess the role of respiratory virus infections in the pathogenesis of URTI and LRTI and risk factors for severe LRTI in an adult clinical hematology department. All adult patients with a hematologic malignancy (including HSCT recipients) who had signs and symptoms of a URTI or LRTI in the inpatient and outpatient settings underwent a detailed clinical evaluation, and samples from the upper and/or lower respiratory tracts were screened for the presence of respiratory viruses. A first episode of infection was defined as the period during which the patient had symptoms of URTI and/ or LRTI, regardless of whether a respiratory virus was isolated.	./cache/cord-278084-km04sz2s.txt	./txt/cord-278084-km04sz2s.txt
