Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is the most frequent and potentially fatal complication of an allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation. It appears when immunocompetent T cells from donor origin recognise antigens from recipient origin as foreign. The immune response activates donor T cells and destroys recipient tissues.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) continues to be a major obstacle to the success of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Furthermore, several clinical strategies being employed at this time in the field of bone marrow transplantation have had an impact on GVHD.

Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2008Chronic graft-versus-host disease is the most common late, non-relapse complication of transplantation yet it is also one of the least studied. It is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality of long-term survivors of allogeneic bone marrow transplants. Like acute graft-versus-host disease, it does have a strong antitumor effect. The recent National

Okuläre Graft-versus-Host-Disease
Der Ophthalmologe, 2015Ocular graft versus host disease (GVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is predominantly an inflammatory and destructive ocular surface disease with increasing incidence. It not only leads to a reduced quality-of-life but can also impair vision and in severe cases lead to blindness. The occurrence of GVHD can lead to

A review of graft versus host disease [PDF]
Journal of Pediatric Intensive Care, 2015 Children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant often require intensive care support due to their underlying disease, sepsis, infection, hemorrhage, respiratory failure and organ dysfunction. The majority of children requiring intensive care support have an allogeneic donor.

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (SCT) is a curative therapy for haematological malignancies and inherited disorders of blood cells, such as sickle-cell anaemia. Mature alphabeta T cells that are contained in the allografts reconstitute T-cell immunity and can eradicate malignant cells in the recipient.

Combinations of drugs such as methotrexate, cyclosporin A, and prednisone have reduced the incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) to 20% to 30%. However, GVDH remains a major complication (up to 90%) following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from unrelated or mismatched donors.

Graft versus host disease (GVHD) occurs in 50% to 70% of patients receiving bone marrow transplants. It can also develop in immunosuppressed patients with malignancies who receive nonirradiated blood transfusions. Most work indicates that the primary mechanism of GVHD is cell-mediated. It is likely that humoral factors are involved as well.

Acute graft-versus-host disease
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2023Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common immune complication that can occur after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). Acute GVHD is a major health problem in these patients, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Acute GVHD is caused by the recognition and the destruction of the recipient tissues and organs

Ocular graft-versus-host disease
Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2012This review was carried out to study the frequency, and severity of ocular surface involvement at the setting of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and subsequent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and evaluate the clinical outcomes of newer treatments.Ocular involvement has been reported in 60-90% of patients with chronic GVHD.
