Diffuse pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation

Ann Hematol. 1993 Sep;67(3):139-41. doi: 10.1007/BF01701739.

Abstract

Diffuse pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a life-threatening complication following bone marrow transplantation (BMT). So far it has been seen preferentially after autologous BMT. Here, we describe a patient who presented with the picture of DAH after allogeneic BMT. We draw attention to the fact that the syndrome may occur after allogeneic BMT, too.
