Article Synopsis
- Bone marrow transplant, particularly the allogeneic type, is a common treatment for leukemia but can lead to complications like graft versus host disease (GVHD), primarily affecting the skin.
- A study analyzed skin manifestations in 59 patients aged 0 to 20 who underwent transplants, revealing that 25 patients developed GVHD, with 24 showing skin involvement.
- The main skin issues observed were an erythematous maculopapular rash in acute GVHD cases and sclerotic lesions similar to morphea in chronic GVHD cases.
