Fatal erythroderma (suspected graft-versus-host disease) after cholecystectomy. Retrospective analysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Immunomodulatory effects of UV light have increasingly become a focus in transfusion medicine, BMT and transplantation immunology. In the transplant setting, the use of UVB radiation may reduce or abolish T-cell activation without compromising either bone marrow (BM) engraftment or graft-versus-leukemia effe...
