Graft Versus Host Disease

Graft versus host disease happens when immune cells from a donor stem cell or bone marrow transplant treat the recipient's body as foreign and attack it. It commonly affects the skin, gut, liver, eyes and mouth, and may come on soon after the transplant or develop slowly over months. Treatment uses steroids and other medicines that calm the donor immune cells, along with supportive care from a transplant team.
