ABSTRACT
Non-infectious pulmonary complications following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are entities occuring early or late, depending on whether they occur before or after 100 days post-transplantation. They have firstly to be differentiated from infectious complications, which is not always easy, as their clinical and radiological aspects can mimic a viral or bacterial pneumonia. Corticosteroids are the most given treatment but a significant subset of patients have a fatal outcome. This article will review the clinical, radiological, functionnal features and the therapeutic options of six entities (engraftment syndrome, diffuse alveolar hemorrage, idiopathic pneumonia syndrome, organizing pneumonia, bronchiolitis obliterans, post-transplantation lympho-proliferative disease).
