ABSTRACT
The authors report the first case involving a patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome who underwent single living-donor lobar lung transplantation after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation was performed at 1 year of age; however, he developed severe pulmonary complications. Although lung transplantation is generally contraindicated in patients with immunodeficiency disease, the patient was able to undergo living-donor lobar lung transplantation because his immunodeficiency and thrombocytopenia were well controlled as a result of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Currently, the patient is doing well and is free from oxygen supplementation.
