Abstract:
As lung transplant patients are being returned more quickly to their own communities and physicians, pathologists will be challenged more frequently to provide immediate diagnoses to distinguish infection from rejection. This chapter provides a guide for meeting this challenge and discusses in detail rejection of the graft, infection in the graft, other pathology in the graft, and the procedures for evaluating and distinguishing among these conditions.
