title: Acute and chronic lung allograft rejection during pregnancy.
abstract: Young women who undergo lung transplantation may regain normal fertility and become pregnant. Currently, little is known about the outcome of pregnancy after lung transplantation. We present a case of pregnancy after bilateral lung transplantation complicated by acute and chronic allograft rejection, resulting in irreversible loss of lung function.
