[ARDS (adult respiratory distress syndrome) after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Complications in two patients treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma].

Complications were described in two patients with non Hodgkins lymphoma (large cell anaplastic lymphoma and histiocytoma malignum) after completion of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Both patients died. In one of them it was established at autopsy that the cause of death was ARDS, while in the second case it was the clinical course which suggested the same diagnosis.
