Bronchiolitis obliterans after bone marrow transplantation.
Bronchiolitis obliterans occurred in the setting of chronic graft-versus-host disease 1 year after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogenous leukemia. The severe obstructive pulmonary disease followed an episode of interstitial pneumonitis. The etiology and possible relationship to graft-versus-host disease of this rare pulmonary lesion following bone marrow transplantation are discussed.
