The interaction between pseudomonas infections and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) CXCL1 increases the risk of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Greater BALF concentrations of CXCL5 also increase the risk of BOS, as do episodes of acute rejection independently of pseudomonas.

Hazard ratios for transition from transplantation to bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome for pseudomonas infections only.
