Summary
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a serious complication after stem cell transplants, causing inflammation and gut damage. This case report highlights the crucial role of imaging in diagnosing and managing GVHD.
Area of Science:
- Medicine
- Immunology
- Radiology
Background:
- Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.
- It involves an immune response where donor immune cells attack host tissues, leading to inflammation and organ damage, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract.
- GVHD significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in transplant recipients.
