Between 2 and 3 months after allogeneic marrow transplantation, once past the hurdles of acute GVHD, opportunistic viral infections, and fungal and bacterial superinfections, the cellular immune system is slowly progressing toward full immunocompetence, a process that will not be completed until close to 2 years after transplantation when finally delayed-type hypersensitivity response is normalized. Equally, T helper function for B cell production of immunoglobulins starts to return, normal immunoglobulin levels being reached not before 4 months after transplantation (Atkinson 1990b; Lum 1987). This state of relative calm can be interrupted by an important complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, chronic graft-versus-host disease which, as more and more patients survive the early post-transplant complications, is becoming an ever-increasing problem (Atkinson 1990a). This syndrome, a chronic, severe and often relentlessly progressing complication, now affects more than half of the transplanted patients and is associated with a number of distinct immunobiological features. Clinically chronic GVHD resembles autoimmune diseases and most often includes a Sjogren’s syndrome with xerophthalmia and xerostomia, poikiloderma and cutaneous sclerosis, and hepatic dysfunction with features of cholestasis.
