    Background. Beside greater susceptibility to infections, acute graft host disease is a consequence of the activation of donor T-cells against host antigens. Most common target organs are skin, liver ... and intestinal mucosis. December 2000, 49 patients were treated with allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in Transplant unit, Department of Hematology,Clinical Centre Ljubljana. The standard GVHD prophylaxis regimen consisted of cyclosporine and short-course methotrexate. Severe, grade 111-N aGVHD with skin and/or gastrointestinal and/or liver involvement appeared in 16 (32%) of the 49 patients. Results. Among the 16 patients with severe aGVHD,14 had liver involvement, ten gastrointestinal and eight skin involvement. One patient had skin involvement only, the rest of them had combined involvement of two or three organ systems. Routine first-line treatment for aGVHD, given to all 16 pts with severe forms of the disease, wasmethylprednisolone (MP) 2mg/ kg. Six patients with predominant skin involvement responded to MP. Other ten patients with mainly liver and gastrointestinal involvement needed second or even third line aGVHD treatment.These were anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and/or monoclonal antibodies (OKT3) and/or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and/or FK506(tacrolimus).Seven patients died of advanced aGVHD and treatment related infection. Conclusions. Based on our experiences, we conclude that in critically ill patients with severe aGVHD, neutropenia and high risk for opportunistic infection, each day of ineffective MP therapy may have fatal consequences. Simultaneous institution of a combination of corticosteroids anda second-line drug mightprove more appropriate forpatients with a severe form of aGVHD.
