It is difficult to distinguish bronchial asthma from bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP), when dyspnea with wheeze is revealed after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. However, to clarify the cause of wheeze is important because treatment and prognosis are quite different between bronchial asthma and BOOP. We described here infantile acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) for an 8-month-old female case that developed respiratory disorder with wheeze after unrelated cord blood transplantation (CBT). She got onset of infantile ALL, and underwent CBT from an HLA-one-locus-mismatched unrelated donor at the first complete remission. When dyspnea with wheeze appeared two months after CBT, she was treated with methylprednisolone pulse therapy as the possibility of lung graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) could not be excluded. Blood examination revealed an increase of serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels (111 μg/l, compared to a normal range of less than 8.8 μg/l), which indicates that dyspnea with wheeze was a symptom of asthmatic BOOP. An effective treatment with steroid inhalation was applied. As a result, serum ECP level measurement was shown to be a useful diagnostic tool and indicator for clinical course in the case of lung complication with wheeze after CBT.
