AdV DNAemia and intestinal infection subsided completely in 75% of pediatric HSCT recipients treated with BCV. AdV DNAemia exceeding 1 × 109/mL and a poor lymphocyte recovery of <250/µL were associated with high mortality. Early AdV DNAemia before day +21, however, did not result in a worse outcome. Although access to BCV is currently suspended, further clinical trials are needed to clarify the role of BCV in HSCT recipients with AdV infections and its potential benefit in preventing AdV DNAemia in immunocompromised patients.
