Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used in the treatment of various oncologic and hematologic diseases. After HSCT, patients are immunocompromised and are at risk for a wide variety of infectious and noninfectious complications. CT is routinely used when pulmonary complications are suspected after HSCT. In this article, we review the CT appearance of pulmonary complications that occur in the post-transplantation period with special emphasis on opportunistic infections, many of which are life-threatening.
