- Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Severe GVHD carries significant morbidity and mortality and remains one of the leading causes of treatment failure. Unfortunately, intestinal GVHD may present with a variety of non-specific symptoms and diagnosis based on clinical presentation is often inaccurate; biopsy is therefore needed for definitive diagnosis. At present, the optimal endoscopic approach to the diagnosis of gastrointestinal GVHD remains uncertain.
