Thoracic Air Leak Syndrome, Pulmonary Aspergillosis, and COVID-19 Pneumonia After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in a Child With Myelodysplastic Syndrome

We present a 14-year-old girl with hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome who developed graft versus host disease on day 60, TALS on day 150, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome on day 300, pulmonary aspergillosis on day 400 and COVID-19 pneumonia on day 575 after allo-HSCT. This is the first report of a child who developed these subsequent PCs after allo-HSCT. Therefore, the manifestations of these unfamiliar PCs like TALS and COVID-19 pneumonia, and concomitant pulmonary aspergillosis with management options are discussed.
