title: [Clinical characteristics in 18 cases of sever pneumonia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for malignant hematological disease].
abstract: To investigate the clinical features and outcome of severe pneumonia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for malignant hematological disease, the clinical features of severe pneumonia, including symptoms, signs, blood-gas analysis and thoracic X-ray change were observed, the clinical therapeutical outcome is also evaluated.
