Post Bone Marrow Transplant (Pulmonary Findings)
Early Neutropenic (0-30 days)
- Pulmonary Edema, Hemorrhage, Drug Induced Lung Injury
- Fungal Pneumonia (invasive aspergillosis)
Post Bone Marrow Transplant (Pulmonary Findings)
Early (30-90 days)
CMV
PCP
Post Bone Marrow Transplant (Pulmonary Findings)
Late > 90 days
- Bronchiolitis Obliterans
- Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia
Pulmonary Graft vs Host Disease (GvHD) is characterized by?
Bronchitis Obliterans
Air trapping (Mosaic attenuation on expiratory imaging)
Bronchiolitis Obliterans
Pulmonary Graft vs Host
- Acute (20-100 Days) - ?
- Chronic (>100 Days) - ?
- Lung involvement is rare. Favors
extrapulmonary systems
(skin, liver, G1 tract) - Lymphocytic Infiltration of the airways and bronchiolitis obliterans.
Most classic AIDS infection
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)
Dominant finding of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in AIDS
GGO in the perihilar regions with sparing of the lung periphery.
Cysts, which are usually thin-walled, can occur in the ground glass opacities about 30% o f the time.
AIDS Related Infection
Most common airspace opacity
Strep Pneumonia
AIDS + Bilateral Ground Glass Opacities + Thin Walled Cysts + Pneumothorax = ?
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)
AIDS related infection

Kaposi Sarcoma
AIDS related infection
Persistent Opacities
Lymphoma
AIDS related infection
Hypervascular Lymph Nodes
