She developed grade II acute skin graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) which was treated with cyclosporine and a short course of steroids. She developed extensive chronic GVHD of the skin and liver three hundred days post-transplant. She was managed with the standard immunosuppressants with partial response of liver dysfunction but no response of skin lesions.
