| Abstract | Queen Mary Hospital (QMH) is a major referral centre for the treatment of haematological and lymphoid diseases in Hong Kong. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) began at QMH in May 1990. Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is one of the commonest complications of BMT and usually commences within two to 10 weeks of transplantation. Other side effects of BMT are also very common and frequently alter the clinical course and management of these patients. In this study, the authors examine the pathology of surgical and postmortem specimens from Chinese patients after BMT, with emphasis on the clincopathological correlation between the grading of acute GVHD. |
