Acute esophageal stricture after bone marrow transplantation.
Gastrointestinal complications following bone marrow transplantation are common and may result from the conditioning regimen, immunosuppression, graft-versus-host disease, or a combination of these factors. These effects may be acute (mucositis, enteritis, esophagitis) or delayed (xerostomia, stricture formation) in onset. We describe here a case of esophageal stricture developing within 1 month of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
