Pulmonary dysfunction in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients: non-infectious and long-term complications.
Pulmonary complications are among the most frequently encountered sequelae of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Non-infectious complications are becoming increasingly more common in this unique population. This review addresses the diagnosis and management of non-infectious manifestations of lung disease in pediatric HSCT patients and briefly discusses the long-term pulmonary function of childhood HSCT survivors.
