Abstract

Graft versus host disease is one of the complications with greater lethality after transplantation, usually of bone marrow, or after blood transfusion. Organs involved include skin, liver, gastrointestinal tract and the immune system. However, the conception of graft versus host disease has been changing as comprehension of transplant immunology has advanced, since it has been demonstrated that it can have beneficial results as an antileucemic response and because of an increased tolerance to grafts.
