Heightened infection surveillance may be warranted post-lung transplant; leaves open whether antivirals reduce bronchiolitis obliterans incidence.
Do viral and other infectious pathogens contribute to the development of bronchiolitis obliterans in lung transplant recipients?
This review highlights the role of infectious pathogens, such as cytomegalovirus and respiratory viruses, in triggering allograft injury and contributing to bronchiolitis obliterans in lung transplant recipients.
