Noninfectious complications of hematopoietic cell transplantation

Abstract

Noninfectious lung diseases contribute to nonrelapse mortality. They constitute a spectrum of diseases that can affect the parenchyma, airways, or vascular pulmonary components and specifically exclude cardiac and renal causes. The differential diagnoses of these entities differ as a function of time after hematopoietic cell transplantation. Specific diagnosis, prognosis, and optimal treatment remain challenging, although progress has been made in recent decades.
