In this study, we aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with hemorrhagic pneumonia caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Materials and Methods: A review of the clinical picture of hemorrhagic pneumonia based on reported cases in the literature was performed. In addition, patients with hematologic malignancies who had a Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection were included in the meta-analysis to evaluate risk factors for hemorrhagic pneumonia. Results: A total of 91 patients had hemorrhagic pneumonia. Acute myeloid leukemia was present in 57 patients (62.6%). Those with bacteremia accounted for 94%, while those with neutropenia accounted for 95% and those with thrombocytopenia accounted for 86.7%. Hemorrhagic pneumonia was a risk factor for mortality of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection in patients with hematologic malignancies. Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were identified as risk factors for hemorrhagic pneumonia. Conclusions: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia with hemorrhagic pneumonia in patients with hematologic malignancies is a situation with rapid development and high mortality. Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were risk factors for hemorrhagic pneumonia in patients with hematologic malignancies and with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia; thus, these patients should be managed with caution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina60010162","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,15]],"date-time":"2024-01-15T11:15:01Z","timestamp":1705317301000},"page":"162","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Hemorrhagic Pneumonia Caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies\u2014A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1239-9584","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chienhsiu","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, No. 2, Min-Sheng Road, Dalin Town, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sufang","family":"Kuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, No. 2, Min-Sheng Road, Dalin Town, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lichen","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, No. 2, Min-Sheng Road, Dalin Town, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.11.1.57","article-title":"Microbiological and clinical aspects of infection associated with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia","volume":"11","author":"Denton","year":"1998","journal-title":"Clin.
