Hematopoietic cell transplantation is one of the most important treatments for malignant and non-malignant hematological diseases. One of the most frequent and serious complications of the procedure is graft-versus host-disease, being the main cause of mortality. Graft-versus-host disease can be acute or chronic and is differentiated by its clinical presentation. Both forms are important for their impact on the patient's prognosis. Acute gastrointestinal involvement is generally the most severe and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Upper gastrointestinal involvement is particularly underdiagnosed, which is why we present a case of acute graft-versus-host disease with gastric involvement.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
