title: Vasculitic neuropathy in association with chronic graft-versus-host disease.
abstract: A 43-year-old woman is reported who developed acute and later chronic graft-versus-host disease following an unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation for chronic myeloid leukaemia. Four years later, she developed a sensory multiple mononeuropathy with biopsy features of chronic vasculitis. This is the first report of vasculitic neuropathy in association with graft-versus-host disease.
