Randomized Double-Blind Study of the Safety and Immunogenicity of Standard-Dose Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine versus High-Dose Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine in Adult Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Patients
2016, Biology of Blood and Marrow TransplantationCitation Excerpt :Patients with influenza pneumonia, which includes 9.5% to 75% of HCT recipients with influenza, have higher mortality rates [8-13]. In the community, an influenza epidemic can be associated with attack rates of 10% to 20% in the general population; however, attack rates are higher in individuals with cancer [14-17]. Moreover, significant morbidity and mortality were noted in HCT patients during the recent H1N1 pandemic, with several reports of pneumonia, lower respiratory tract infections, rhabdomyolysis, and death, including many individuals who were affected more than 6 months after their HCT [18-24].
