Diffuse pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a life-threatening complication following bone marrow transplantation (BMT). So far it has been seen preferentially after autologous BMT. Here, we describe a patient who presented with the picture of DAH after allogeneic BMT. We draw attention to the fact that the syndrome may occur after allogeneic BMT, too.
