Abstract
To our knowledge, we report the largest series of LTx recipients treated with oral ribavirin for RSV. Oral ribavirin appears to be an effective, well-tolerated alternative to IV or inhaled ribavirin; provides considerable cost savings and reduces length of hospital stay. Potential long-term benefits in preventing development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction are yet to be determined.
