Abstract

Non-infectious pulmonary complications are frequent after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). They mainly comprise bronchiolitis obliterans and interstitial pneumonia in the setting of chronic graft- versus -host disease (cGVHD) [1]. Ruxolitinib may induce pulmonary alveolar proteinosis and favour respiratory non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections http://ow.ly/bTXn30jogC8
