Sirolimus-induced bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia in a kidney transplant recipient; a case report and review of literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Sirolimus is immunosuppressive drug used to prevent rejection in kidney transplantation. Pulmonary problems are one of the serious complications which may be seen after administration of this drug and it is believed that it could be life threatening. CASE PRESENTATION Here in this paper we presented a 49-years-old man with bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) induced by chronic use of Sirolimus. The disease was diagnosed and successfully treated. CONCLUSIONS Sirolimus uses after kidney transplantation may lead to lung complications, especially BOOP, and the prompt diagnosis would allow earlier treatment.

Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a clinicopathological entity occurring in the clinical setting of interstitial pneumonia [1]. Occurrence of BOOP in the post-transplant period has been well described in lung [2] or bone marrow transplantation [3] but remains rare in renal transplantation [4]. We report here, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of BOOP secondary t...
