Bronchiolitis obliterans complicating bone marrow transplantation.
A 19-year-old woman with extensive, persistent chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD), following an HLA-identical bone marrow graft for acute leukemia, developed rapidly progressive airflow obstruction 140 days post-transplantation (PT) and presented clinically with persistent cough, inspiratory rales, bronchospasm and exertional dyspnea.

The presence of inflammation and fibrosis of the terminal and respiratory bronchioles results in narrowing or complete obliteration of the airway lumen, leading to chronic airflow obstruction. Histologically, BO is characterized ...
متن کاملBronchiolitis Obliterans After Lung Transplantation
ing lung transplantation is 71%, and 46% of trans¬ plant recipients will survive at least 5 years.1 Al¬ though infections, medication-related adverse events, and malignancies remain important compli¬ cations, prolonged survival is limited predominantly by bronchiolitis obliterans (RO), a condition that was associated with transplantation more than a decade ago.25 Data suggest that at least 50% ...
متن کاملBronchiolitis obliterans following lung transplantation.
Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the main and late chronic complication after lung transplantation. It remains a major impediment to long-term outcome. Unfortunately, the survival rate of lung transplant recipients lags behind that of other organ transplant recipients, and BOS accounts for more than 30% of all mortality after the third year following lung transplantation. Most recent ...
