Abstract:
Graft versus host disease is the most common complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.It includes two different types,i.e.acute and chronic types.Acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) is the immune response of T cells from the donor to unmatched major histocompatibility complex (MHC) from the host.It has unique pathogenesis and pathological changes and complex clinical manifestations with multiple organs involved.This paper reviewed the progress from home and abroad in diagnosis and treatment of acute graft versus host disease.
