Pneumothorax is the most common pleural complication [7] Airway anastomotic complications should be suspected if pneumothorax persists or enlarges after the early postoperative period (>7 days after transplantation). Pleural effusion is also a common complication secondary to increased capillary permeability and impaired lymphatic drainage of the allograft lung during the early postoperative period ( Fig. 19 .5a, b). Viral infections can predispose lung transplant recipients to a b Fig. 19.16 (a, b) obliterative bronchiolitis [18, 19] , a manifestation of chronic rejection. It usually occurs 6 months after transplantation, and risk factors include prior episodes of recurrent acute rejection or infections, particularly CMV pneumonia.	./cache/cord-016790-by7cxz1g.txt	./txt/cord-016790-by7cxz1g.txt
