note = "PURPOSE: Sirolimus is a highly potent immunosuppressant used increasingly in transplant patients. However, sirolimus has occasionally been associated with important pulmonary toxicity, with reports of patients with interstitial pneumonitis, bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia, alveolar hemorrhage and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. We report two cases of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) associated with sirolimus toxicity in our lung transplant patients.",
