Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is initiated by donor allo-reactive T cells activated against recipient antigens. Chronic GVHD (cGVHD) is characterized by immune responses that may resemble autoimmune features present in the scleroderma and Sjogren&...

Background: Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a rare but serious complication following solid organ transplantation (SOT), particularly in transplants involving organs with a high volume of passenger donor T-lymphocytes. This case highlights the cl...

Kaposi sarcoma is relatively common after solid organ transplantation, but very rare after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Here we are reporting a rare case of Kaposi sarcoma in a child after HSCT. An 11-year-old boy with Fanconi anemia wa...

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurs in 30–70% of patients after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and increases the risks of morbidity and mortality. Systemic corticosteroids are the standard initial treatment, but...

The human skin hosts innumerable microorganisms and maintains homeostasis with the local immune system despite the challenges offered by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation (UVR). UVR causes cutaneous alterations such as acute (i.e.,...

Background: Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is an overactive systemic inflammatory response that can arise following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This condition occurs when the transplanted donor immune cells recognize...

A 19-year-old female with a history of pre-B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) presented with two aggressive cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (C-SCC) in the right hand. The patient was diagnosed with pre-B cell ALL at four years of age. She und...
