Pityriasis rosea-like eruption after bone marrow transplantation.
Bone marrow transplantation is associated with numerous cutaneous complications that may be related to the underlying (preexisting) disease, to pretransplant conditioning, to immunosuppression, to concomitant medication, or to graft-versus-host reaction. We describe four bone marrow transplant recipients with the clinical and histologic features of pityriasis rosea, a hitherto unreported association.
