Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) are increasingly associated with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) in lung transplant recipients (LTR). This systematic review primarily aimed to assess outcomes of RSV/PIV/hMPV infections in LTR and secondarily to assess evidence regarding the efficacy of ribavirin. Methods Relevant databases were queried and study outcomes extracted using a standardized method and summarized. Results Nineteen retrospective and 12 prospective studies were included (total 1060 cases). Pooled 30-day mortality was low (0–3%), but CLAD progression 180–360 days postinfection was substantial (pooled incidences 19–24%) and probably associated with severe infection. Ribavirin trended toward effectiveness for CLAD prevention in exploratory meta-analysis (odds ratio [OR] 0.61, [0.27–1.18]), although results were highly variable between studies. Conclusions RSV/PIV/hMPV infection was followed by a high CLAD incidence. Treatment options, including ribavirin, are limited. There is an urgent need for high-quality studies to provide better treatment options for these infections.
