TEN-like acute cutaneous GvHD in a stem cell recipient - A diagnostic dilemma.

A 57-year-old woman with angioimmunoblastic lymphoma received allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHCT) after complete remission under 4th -line chemotherapy. One month after aHCT, PET-scan showed progress of the lymphoma. Therefore, immunosuppressants (including mycophenolate mofetil and cyclosporine A) were reduced to enhance "graft versus tumor reaction". An anti-infective prophylaxis with cotrimoxazol (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) was established. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
