Abstract :
Context Cancers are among the gravest causes of the intensive
immunodeficiency and provide favorable conditions for severe respiratory
tract infections. Evidence Acquisition Using various keywords related to
the subject matter, articles were analyzed in PubMed and appropriately
selected for review. Results In patients with cancer, some viral
respiratory infections such as HRSV, Influenza virus, HCMV, HMPV and
HPIV are prevalent. Conclusions Viral respiratory infections in cancer
patients are common and can worsen the patients’ condition and disrupt
the treatment process. Therefore, prevention and treatment of
respiratory viral infections in cancer patients is important.
