Abstract

A case of the 12-year-old female patient with first relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia was reported. During the induction chemotherapy, the patient, transfused with whole blood and granulocytes, developed diarrhea and generalized macular rash. The skin biopsy showed some changes compatible with graft versushost disease (GVHD). Therefore, the related literature was reviewed, and the clinical features of transfusionassociated GVHD and the measures for its prevention and treatment were succinctly introduced.
