Abstract：
:In the present case report we have described a 46-year-old female patient who underwent a liver transplantation in 1998 for polycystic disease and developed a syndrome of increasing dyspnea, with sputum production and a progressive decline in pulmonary function [forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) (decreased from 153% predicted to 87% predicted). Further examination revealed an impressive tree in a bud pattern with diffuse peribronchiolar infiltrates on computed axial tomographic scan of the thorax. Sputum cultures remained negative. Bronchoscopic central airway biopsy specimens showed lymphocytic bronchitis; sputum induction showed 92% neutrophils. This condition was similar to the bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after lung transplantation, although the specific neutrophilic phenotype of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome has recently been renamed as neutrophilic reversible allograft/airway dysfunction, based on a progressive decline in FEV(1), neutrophilic airway inflammation and its response to neomacrolides. Additional azithromycin treatment resulted in complete recovery in our patient, with normalization of FEV(1) and computed axial tomographic scan of the thorax at 3 months after initiation. This case report suggests that neutrophilic reversible allograft airway dysfunction can no longer be diagnosed only after lung transplantation. Moreover, it demonstrates that this condition is not always related to allograft rejection, but rather may be induced by non-immunologic factors, which remain to be further investigated.
