Bone marrow transplantations (BMT) are limited by complications connected with infection and non-infection processes. One of them, after allogenic bmt is a graft versus host disease. Bronchiolitis obliterans is observed in patients with GVHD. It seems that bronchiolitis obliterans is not observed after autologic bmt. If this observation is proved, it will mean that GVHD is the main factor of the development bronchiolitis obliterans.
