Six patients with hematologic diseases who received bone marrow from an unrelated donor (URD) from 1992 through 1993 and survived for more than 100 days after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were assessed for the incidence, time of onset, and extent of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). Five patients (83%) developed cGVHD, compared with 41% of a control group consisting of 34 patients who received bone marrow from a related donor during the same period. In 4 (80%) of the 5 patients, cGVHD occurred within 70 days after BMT. This early occurrence of cGVHD was observed in only 7% of the control group (P = 0.006). cGVHD tended to involve more organs in the URD-BMT patients than in the control group. In two patients with cGVHD, an allele mismatch in HLA-DRB1 gene between the patients and donor was disclosed by DNA typing. These findings indicate that it is important to strengthen post-transplant immunosuppression, to initiate screening tests from the early post-transplant period, and to select a suitable donor matched with HLA-DRB1 alleles for the prevention of cGVHD in the URD-BMT patients.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D006650 Histocompatibility Testing Identification of the major histocompatibility antigens of transplant DONORS and potential recipients, usually by serological tests. Donor and recipient pairs should be of identical ABO blood group, and in addition should be matched as closely as possible for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in order to minimize the likelihood of allograft rejection.
