Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia after lung transplantation: A case report of treatment with infliximab and tocilizumab and literature review
While high-dose systemic corticosteroids remain the first line of treatment, the use of anti TNF-α has shown promising results in case reports. Furthermore, we propose prompt realization of a cytokine panel analysis in both blood and bronchoalveolar lavage to better guide the adjuvant administration of a targeted anti-inflammatory therapy.
