Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a recognized cause of allograft dysfunction in lung transplant recipients due to the presence of donor-specific anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies (DSAs). Here, we reported that a 69-year-old woman with underlying connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) developed recurrent fever with elevated white blood cells, C-reactive protein (CRP) and new ground-glass opacities on chest computed tomography (CT) early after double lung transplantation. After a thorough investigation for infection, rejection and relapse of primary immune diseases, the patient was found to be panel-reactive antibody (PRA) positive and DSAs positive.
