Abstract
A single-lung transplant recipient developed an ipsilateral pleural effusion from acute lung rejection 2 weeks after transplantation. The pleural effusion was exudative and contained more than 80% lymphocytes on two separate determinations. Acute lung rejection should be added to the differential diagnosis of a lymphocyte-predominant exudative pleural effusion.
