Abstract

With the continued use of bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of malignancies, immunodeficiencies, and some metabolic diseases in children, it remains important for the dermatologist to be aware of the clinical and diagnostic features, and pathophysiology of Graft vs. Host disease. Specifically, the dermatologist should keep in mind that the skin is a primary site for involvement in this process.

A brief review of these and other aspects of Graft vs. Host disease is presented in this report.
