Seven of the 12 allogeneic transplanted patients with at least one positive PCR-result had a VZV-disease. All (n=2) of the autologous transplanted patients with a positive PCR-result developed a VZV-disease. Background: Severe acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGvHD) of the gut is still a major complication after allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (SCT) as response rates to treatment (tx) of intestinal GvHD (iGvHD) are lower than those observed for GvHD of the skin. ./cache/cord-014965-efmozngq.txt ./txt/cord-014965-efmozngq.txt
