Association of Human Lymphocyte Antigens with Obstructive Airways Disease after Bone Marrow Transplantation
BACKGROUND: Obstructive airways disease (OAD) is a known complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The etiology of OAD is unknown but is probably multifactorial. The identification of a significant human lymphocyte antigen (HLA) association with the development of OAD might offer some...

| Summary: | BACKGROUND: Obstructive airways disease (OAD) is a known complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The etiology of OAD is unknown but is probably multifactorial. The identification of a significant human lymphocyte antigen (HLA) association with the development of OAD might offer some insight into its pathogenesis and serve as a marker to identify prospectively patients at risk for developing OAD. |
