MORA, Lorena et al. Treatment of graft-versus-host disease with mesenchymal cells as a complication of a liver transplantation. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2018, vol.110, n.11, pp.734-736. ISSN 1130-0108.  https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2018.5672/2018.

We present the case of a liver transplant (LT) recipient donor who developed graft versus host disease (GVHD). The main features were cutaneous rash, diarrhea and pancytopenia. Mesenchymal cells were administered as part of the treatment. This is the first case of a patient with GVHD after LT reported to date. Despite the treatment, there was no improvement in aplasia or gastrointestinal symptoms and the patient died due to a disseminated infection.

Palabras clave : Orthotopic liver transplantation; Graft versus host disease; Mesenchymal cells.
