Acute GVHD - correct answer Generally occurs within first 100 days or nor meeting chronic criteria
Presents as erythematous, maculopapular rash, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, profuse diarrhea, ileus, or cholestatic liver

Donor transfusion status
Related vs unrelated (best: HLA mathced sibling)
Pathophysiology Phase 1 - correct answer Occurs prior to transplant when preparative regimen may damage host (GI, skin, liver)
Permeable mucosa leads to secretion of inflammatory cytokines
Cytokines upregulate major histocompatibility complexes and minor histocompatibility antigens (host)
Mature T cells (donor) recognize upregulated recipient tissue as foreign and mount an immunologic response
Pathophysiology Phase 2 - correct answer Donor T cell activation
Donor T cells come into contact with minor antigens on recipients cells blood stream
Some donor T cells recognize antigens as foreign and bind them
