TI  - Eosinophilic fasciitis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
PG  - 692-4
AB  - We describe a patient with eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) developing 8 months after 
      an allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloblastic leukemia. The 
      patient responded to low dose prednisone. A full thickness skin-muscle-fascia 
      biopsy detected the characteristic fascial changes of EF and distinguished it 
      from other forms of chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). This distinction 
      may be important since EF after bone marrow transplantation may occur more often 
      and it may respond to treatment with low doses of prednisone whereas chronic GVHD 
      usually requires more extensive immunosuppressive treatment.
