1 Jun 1998

Early high-grade acute rejections (pathologic grade A2 or A3) in recipients of lung allografts are a major risk factor for the subsequent development of obliterative bronchiolitis (OB). We analyzed the risk factors for high-grade acute rejections in 152 recipients of single (100) or bilateral (52) lung allografts transplanted at our institution between 1990 and 1996.
