We report a case of cyclosporin- and methylprednisolone-resistant intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation which responded to a new immunosuppressant, 15-deoxyspergualin (DSG). Endoscopy showed lymphoid hyperplasia with CD3+, CD4+, CD8- lymphocyte infiltration into the submucosa of the jejunum and colon. DSG effectively suppressed this intestinal acute GVHD.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
