A Pediatric Case of Very Late Onset Non-infectious Pulmonary Complication (LONIPC) after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Non-infectious Pulmonary Complication
17-months old infant with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome was transplanted with genetically two-locus mismatched unrelated cord blood cells under the conditioning regimen of busulfan, cyclophosphamide and anti-thymocyte globulin.

GVHD prophylaxis was cyclosporine (CSP) plus short-term methotrexate with prednisolone (1 mg/kg). Acute and chronic GVHD were not observed during the course.

About six years later, he suffered from severe cough and dyspnea with no fever, and diagnosed as late onset non-infectious pulmonary complications (LONIPC).
