Sumario:Community‐acquired respiratory viruses (CARVs) are a frequent cause of disease in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Lower respiratory tract infections with CARVs can be associated with significant morbidity and even mortality in this population. This article reviews the clinical manifestations of CARVs infections and summarizes the evidence‐based recommendations on the preventive and therapeutic strategies to decrease the burden of these viral infections in SOT recipients.
