Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has become a common cause of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts and critical care patients. The most common disease manifestations are pneumonia and bacteremia, with a mortality ranging from 9% to 60.5% depending of the type of infection and host related underlying risk factors. Patients with hematological malignancies may develop a hemorrhagic pneumonia with a rapidly progressive and universally fatal disease course, despite appropriate treatment with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole or combination therapy. We report the first two patients with hematologic malignancies and hemorrhagic pneumonia due to S. maltophilia with successful treatment outcomes after early institution of combination therapy with TMP/SMX, polymyxin, and/or moxifloxacin.
