In conclusion, the leading causes of morbidity after lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis are pulmonary bacterial infection and opportunistic infections. Bronchiolitis obliterans develops in more than half of lung transplant recipients who survive for more than 3 years and is an important cause of death in the late post transplantation period.
