Latest revision as of 15:50, 26 January 2021

Background

Incidence of 16% in first 100 days post-transplant

Etiology

Infection (39%), often with concurrent bacteremia or fungemia
- Gram-positive bacteria
- Gram-negative bacteria
- Polymicrobial infections
- Candida albicans
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis
- CMV
- Legionella
- Rare: influenza, Aspergillus, mucormycosis, human metapneumovirus, human herpesvirus 6
Volume overload (24%)
Serositis-type GVHD (11%)
Others: malignant pleural effusion, engraftment syndrome, BOOP, congestive heart failure, idiopathic pneumonia syndrome, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome
