Özet

Background/Aims: Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), with the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) as one of the main target organs. There is a lack of consensus regarding the site in GIT with the highest sensitivity for biopsy. The present study aimed to determine the endoscopic and histological findings in acute GVHD.
