| Description | Corticosteroid-resistant graft-vshost disease (GVHD) is difficult to manage and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. No standard treatment exists. We have previously seen good result with pulse cyclophosphamide (cy) in the treatment of liver GVHD in contrast to gastrointestinal GVHD, and here we report results of pulse Cy protocol in the treatment of steroid-refractory hepatitic variant of liver GVHD, with no association to the gut. |
