Introduction: Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP) is a severe form of acute lung injury which can occur after lung transplantation. Treatment is empiric, based on immunosuppressive regimens and the mortality rate is very high.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a young lung transplant (LT) recipient who developed AFOP following a respiratory viral infection while on suboptimal maintenance immunosuppression due to adherence issues.

Background: Modalities to improve tissue acquisition during endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) have been investigated. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy (EBUS-TMC) is a modality to obtain larger histological samples by inserting a cryoprobe into the mediastinal lesion. We aimed to study the diagnostic yield and safety of EBUS-TMC.

Background: Transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) provides larger tissue samples and improved sampling depth, but its role in diagnosing acute cellular rejection (ACR) in lung transplant patients is unclear due to limitations in existing studies. To address this, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TBCB.
Methods: A thorough literature review was conducted to evaluate TBCB in post-lung transplant surveillance, assessing the quality of studies and conducting a meta-analysis comparing diagnostic yields of TBCB and transbronchial forceps biopsy (TBFB), as well as evaluating procedural complications.

Background: Surgical lung biopsy (SLB) or video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has been the traditional gold standard modality for diagnosing paediatric interstitial lung diseases. Cryobiopsy of the lung has recently been shown to be a novel technique with very good sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of various interstitial lung disorders in adults. Although there are a few case reports of the same in children, pediatric cryo lung biopsies are rarely performed due to the lack of the necessary equipment and the lack of expertise.
