Clinical grading of oral chronic graft-versus-host disease in 104 consecutive adult patients.
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical relevance of oral involvement by chronic graft-versus-host disease. The presence of oral changes in association with skin and other target organs including eye, lung or joint may adversely influence the probability of discontinuing systemic immunosuppressive treatment.
