What Has Been Learned from Postmortem Studies?	2010-08-19		.txt	text/plain	5270	327	31	Infectious and noninfectious pulmonary complications occur in 30-60% of patients with hematological malignancy and recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and are associated with signifi cant morbidity and mortality [1] . This chapter will review the infectious and noninfectious pulmonary findings that have been described at autopsy in patients with hematological malignancies, including blood and bone marrow transplant recipients. Table 20 .1 lists the infectious and non-infectious pulmonary disorders reported in autopsy studies of patients with hematologic malignancy, including HSCT recipients. Several autopsy series have reported diagnostic discrepancies between premortem clinical diagnosis and postmortem autopsy findings ranging from 5% to 64% in patients with hematologic malignancy and HSCT recipients (Table 20. Infectious and noninfectious pulmonary diseases are commonly found on postmortem autopsy studies in patients with hematological malignancy and HSCT recipients. Major diagnostic discrepancies between clinical premortem diagnoses and postmortem autopsy findings have been reported in patients with hematologic malignancy.	./cache/cord-018209-v2crgj5w.txt	./txt/cord-018209-v2crgj5w.txt
