For these reasons, a specific classification of bacterial pneumoniae in CTTX recipients is proposed based on radiographic findings, clinical symptoms, microbiology and histopathology (including consideration of acute rejection in lung transplant patients). No attempt is made to redefine atypical mycobacterial infections or pulmonary tracheobronchitis in lung transplant recipients and the use of existing definitions from European and North American societies are encouraged until further data emerge.	./cache/cord-285270-amh99u0j.txt	./txt/cord-285270-amh99u0j.txt
