ABSTRACT
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a rare, serious complication after liver transplantation. The incidence is about 1% abroad, but because of difficulties in diagnosis and treatment, the mortality rate is high (80%). Up to now, 78 patients have been reported to have this complication after liver transplantation worldwide; despite various therapeutic programs, the mortality of GVHD after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is still high. Herein we have reported successful treatment of a case of GVHD after liver transplantation.
