Abstract     Infectious pulmonary complications of solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are still a significant cause of morbidity and death. The risk of infection depends of the type of organ transplant, exposure to exogenous and endogenous pathogens and immunosupression of recipient, with the highest risk after lung transplantation. Clinical signs and symptoms of pulmonary complications are often unspecific, and rapid diagnostic procedure is difficult. The authors describe a modern gradual diagnostic approach to diagnosis.
