The article presents a case study of 35-year-old woman with bronchiolitis obliterans which was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome through allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Topics discussed include the use of tacrolimus and methyl prednisolone for bronchiolitis obliterans; the use of serum VZV-IgG antibody reversion for predicting Varicella zoster virus reactivation and quantitative monitoring of VZV-DNA as diagnosis of VZV infections.
