Engraftment syndrome after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: high-resolution computed tomography findings in 2 patients.
Engraftment syndrome is a noninfectious pulmonary complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that represents a form of diffuse capillary leak associated with lung injury and pulmonary edema. The high-resolution computed tomography findings are interstitial edema and pleural effusions. A combination of clinical information and high-resolution computed tomography findings may help to confirm the diagnosis.
