Abstract

Baloxavir, a cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor, was recently approved for treatment of severe influenza infections. Combining baloxavir with oseltamivir has been proposed to increase the response rate. We report 2 hematopoietic cell transplant recipients with severe influenza infections who were treated with this combination and discuss possible reasons for their different responses.
