Abstract
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is known to be a devastating clinical condition with myriad etiologies. The immediate post-transplant period is plagued by immunosuppression, surgical complications, and nosocomial sources of infection. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in this setting is usually attributed to infection. In this case report, an unusual cause of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage due to anti-thymocyte globulin used as an induction agent is described, and an approach to DAH in the immediate post-transplant setting is discussed.

Abstract
Pulmonary complications are common following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and contribute significantly to its morbidity and mortality. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a devastating non-infectious complication that occurs in up to 5% of patients post-HCT. Historically, it carries a high mortality burden of 60–100%. The etiology remains ill-defined but is thought to be due to lung injury from conditioning regimens, total body irradiation, occult infections, and other comorbidities such as graft vs. host disease, thrombotic microangiopathy, and subsequent cytokine release and inflammation. Clinically, patients present with hypoxemia, dyspnea, and diffuse opacities consistent with an alveolar disease process on chest radiography. Diagnosis is most commonly confirmed with bronchoscopy findings of progressively bloodier bronchoalveolar lavage or the presence of hemosiderin-laden macrophages on microscopy. Treatment with glucocorticoids is common though dosing and duration of therapy remains variable. Other agents, such as aminocaproic acid, tranexamic acid, and activated recombinant factor VIIa have also been tried with mixed results. We present a review of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage with a focus on its pathogenesis and treatment options.

Haploidentical Bone Marrow Transplantation with Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide Using Non-First-Degree Related Donors. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2018; 24:1099-1102.

Abstract
Outcomes of nonmyeloablative (NMA) haploidentical (haplo) blood or marrow transplant (BMT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) using non-first-degree relatives are unknown. We evaluated 33 consecutive adult patients (median age, 56 years) with hematologic malignancies who underwent NMA haplo T cell-replete BMT with PTCy at Johns Hopkins using second- or third-degree related donors. Donors consisted of 10 nieces (30%), 9 nephews (27%), 7 first cousins (21%), 5 grandchildren (15%), and 2 uncles (6%). Thirty-one patients (94%) reached full donor chimerism by day 60. The estimated cumulative incidence (CuI) of grades II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) at day 180 was 24% (90% confidence interval [CI], 9% to 38%). Only 1 patient experienced grades III to IV aGVHD. At 1 year the CuI of chronic GVHD was 10% (90% CI, 0% to 21%). The CuI of nonrelapse mortality at 1 year was 5% (90% CI, 0% to 14%). At 1 year the probability of relapse was 31% (90% CI, 12% to 49%), progression-free survival 64% (90% CI, 48% to 86%), and overall survival 95% (90% CI, 87% to 100%). The 1-year probability of GVHD-free, relapse-free survival was 57% (90% CI, 41% to 79%). NMA haplo BMT with PTCy from non-first-degree relatives is an acceptably safe and effective alternative donor platform, with results similar to those seen with first-degree relatives.

Abstract
Sirolimus-induced ILD is a known but rare complication in adults who have undergone SOT. However, little is known about this adverse effect in children. Diagnosis of sirolimus-induced ILD can be challenging, especially in patients who have difficulty participating in lung function testing. We present a case of presumed sirolimus-induced ILD in a pediatric stem cell transplant patient who developed polycythemia and hypoxemia. To our knowledge, no other cases of sirolimus-induced pulmonary toxicity in children after HCT have been reported.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a frequently encountered infection following hematopoietic cell transplantation, and tissue invasive pneumonia is a dreaded complication of the virus in this population. In this review of CMV pneumonia, we address epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnostics, current therapy, and strategies to prevent the development of CMV. We also review emerging treatment and prevention options for this challenging disease.

Abstract
Allogeneic and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantations are important therapeutic options for patients with hematologic disorders. Hemostatic complications are frequent after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with a considerable morbidity and mortality. The incidence of bleedings and thrombosis is highest in the first few weeks after transplantation, but may also occur later. However, beyond the first year of transplantation only limited data are available. In long-term survivors the risk for premature atherosclerosis increases over time after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and it is higher than in the age-adjusted general population and in recipients of autologous transplantation.
