Abstract

Pulmonary diseases can occur across the entire disease spectrum of malignant hematologic systemic diseases. Although infectious processes of the lungs are common in these immunosuppressed patient collectives, noninfectious causes account for up to half of the pulmonary manifestations found in hematologic malignancies. Besides the frequent infections including opportunistic pathogens, a broad differential diagnosis including drug-induced lung injury by cytostatic substances, cytokines, and innovative immunotherapeutic agents, rarer transfusion of blood products and intrathoracic manifestations of the hematologic malignancy itself, have to be kept in mind. Finally, vascular complications can also lead to pulmonary reactions. Early and consistent diagnostics and treatment of the bronchopulmonary, intrathoracic and vascular complications within the framwework of hematologic systemic diseases can be essential for the patient's prognosis.
