Abstract:
We present two cases of patients who developed keratitis sicca (dry eyes) and pemphigoid-like symptoms after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Skin biopsy revealed changes typical of GVHD. In both cases immunosuppressive treatment, systemic and local, produced improvement of the clinical condition.
