“…DAH is characterized by cough, dyspnea, hypoxia, respiratory compromise, and fever without evidence for infection (Afessa, 2011a;Saria and Gosselin-Acomb, 2007). Hemoptysis is uncommon (Afessa, 2011a).…”

“…Hemoptysis is uncommon (Afessa, 2011a). DAH most commonly occurs within the first 30 days after transplant and carries a mortality rate of 76% (Afessa, 2011a). Bronchoscopy may establish the diagnosis.…”

“…DAH most commonly occurs within the first 30 days after transplant and carries a mortality rate of 76% (Afessa, 2011a). Admission to the ICU and use of mechanical ventilation is usually warranted (Afessa, 2011a;Saria and Gosselin-Acomb, 2007). On chest radiograph, unilateral or bilateral alveolar infiltrates may be seen.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
