This phase II trial studies how well pulmonary function tests, fluticasone propionate, azithromycin dihydrate, and montelukast sodium work in managing bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome in pediatric patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant. Pulmonary function tests, fluticasone propionate, azithromycin dihydrate, and montelukast sodium may decrease deteriorating lung function, prevent the development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, and improve patient outcomes after a donor stem cell transplant.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether or not early spirometric detection of airflow obstruction and initiation of fluticasone propionate, azithromycin dihydrate, and montelukast sodium (FAM) therapy can attenuate declining lung function and improve patient outcomes.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To characterize the natural history of pulmonary function following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
II. To identify risk factors leading to airway obstruction following HSCT.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo pulmonary function tests (PFTs) pre-HSCT and every 3 months following HSCT. Patients with evidence of airflow obstruction who do not have any clinical evidence of infection or other non-bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) causes of airflow obstruction, including reversible disease, receive fluticasone propionate orally (PO) twice daily (BID), azithromycin dihydrate PO three times weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), and montelukast sodium PO daily. Treatment continues for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.
