TI  - Graft versus host disease after liver transplantation: A case report.
PG  - 30-32
LID - 10.14744/hf.2021.2021.0006 [doi]
AB  - Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) is a severe immunological-clinicopathological 
      condition mediated by healthy T-lymphocytes in donor tissue against the 
      immunosuppressed host tissue and rarely seen after solid organ transplantation 
      (SOT). A 72-year old male patient underwent cadaveric liver transplantation. On 
      day 34 of the postoperative follow-up, the patient developed fever, generalized 
      skin rash and hemorrhagic lesions in the oropharynx. Skin biopsy was consistent 
      with GVHD. Despite high-dose corticosteroid treatment, he died on postoperative 
      day 51. Although it is seen rarely after liver transplantation, GVHD is an 
      important clinical entity for which early diagnosis is critical due to its high 
      rates of mortality.
