ABSTRACT
Microaspiration secondary to gastroesophageal reflux has been postulated to be a predisposing factor for development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after lung transplantation. Esophageal manometry and ambulatory pH monitoring have been suggested as a screening test in patients with end-stage lung disease. We report a single lung transplant patient who developed allograft rejection presumed to be due to underlying achalasia as the patient's clinical status and lung function improved markedly following the treatment of achalasia
