Abstract

Graft-versus-host reactions frequently produce cutaneous and systemic complications in patients receiving bone marrow transplants. Characteristic skin involvement typically heralds graft-versus-host reactions and significantly contributes to the morbidity associated with marrow transplants. Familiarity with these reactions and their treatment is important to dermatologists involved in the care of marrow transplant recipients.
