Severe intestinal graft-versus-host disease following autologous stem cell transplantation.

摘要

A 61-year-old woman was originally diagnosed with stage IVB follicular lyraphoma in 1981 when she presented with lymphadenopathy, fever and night sweats. She was treated with BCNU (carnrustine), cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone, and achieved a complete remission. She relapsed in 1994 and over the next decade was treated several times with chemotherapy and localized radiation for recurrent disease.
