title: Acute graft-versus-host disease following hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.
abstract: Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation has become the standard of care for numerous malignant and nonmalignant conditions. As the number of stem-cell transplants performed worldwide rises, it is imperative that dermatologists taking care of these patients are able to understand the methods of transplantation, as well as to recognize and treat the cutaneous complications that commonly follow transplant, particularly acute graft-versus-host disease.
