BMTCN Chapter 5: Graft-versus-Host Disease Already Passed T.R. is a 28-year-old woman with acute myeloid leukemia in her second complete remission who is admitted for a matched unrelated allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Her conditioning regimen is as follows: Myeloablation (busulfan/cyclophosphamide) and immunosuppression with tacrolimus and methotrexate (5 mg/m2 on days +1, +3, +6, and +11). She did not receive methotrexate on day +11 because of severe mucositis. Her transplant course w...
