In this video, the speakers discuss:
- Lung problems that can occur after transplant include bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), interstitial lung disease, cryptic organizing pneumonia, neuromuscular lung disease, pleural disease and problems caused by skin sclerosis which can affect the chest wall and make it hard to breathe.
- Symptoms of bronchiolitis obliterans may not appear until the disease has progressed extensively
- Treatment for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome usually does not reverse the disease, but may stop it from getting worse.
This video is a recording of the workshop at the 2019 BMT InfoNet National Graft-versus-Host Disease Patient Summit.

Although I know this is a bit outdated as there is potentially better treatment options this presentation was extremely helpful and informative. The questions asked and the answers were also very helpful. I would love to see an update going over the current best treatments.
