Leucemia mieloide aguda secundaria a inmunosupresores en una paciente trasplantada de pulmón, una inusual y letal entidad
Secondary acute myeloid leukemia is a very rare complication in patients with solid organ transplantation. We report a 62 years old female who received a right single lung allograft for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Her immunosuppression scheme consisted in prednisone, azathioprine, and tacrolimus....
