Abstract:
We report a case of graft versus host disease after liver transplantation in which the diagnosis was made by short tandem repeat analysis. A retrospective analysis using a bone marrow sample showed the presence of chimerism already at a time when the characteristic full clinical picture of graft versus host disease had not yet developed, opening the way for the early diagnosis and treatment.
