AI Article Synopsis
- The case involves a young man with acute myelogenous leukemia who underwent a stem cell transplant from a related donor.
- Following the transplant, he developed chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which is a condition where the donated cells attack the recipient's body.
- This resulted in pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade, both of which are serious conditions where fluid accumulates around the heart, demonstrating a rare complication of GVHD.
Article Abstract
The authors report a case with pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade as a rare clinical manifestation of chronic graft-versus-host disease in a young man with acute myelogenous leukemia submitted to an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a related donor.
