Successful ruxolitinib administration for a patient with steroid-refractory idiopathic pneumonia syndrome following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) is an acute lung complication observed after the early posthematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) period. Ruxolitinib was effective for a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome who developed severe IPS after second HSCT. No severe adverse effects were observed. Ruxolitinib may be an alternative choice for HSCT-related IPS.
