Abstract:
Chronic graft versus host disease continues to be a major problem following bone marrow transplantation even though the incidence and severity of acute graft versus host disease has been reduced. Recent investigations have suggested that the pathogenesis of chronic graft versus host disease is more similar clinically to an autoimmune disease than to acute graft versus host disease.
