People with specific cancers may go through a stem cell transplant. Graft vs host disease symptoms might appear when the donor cells attack the recipient’s cells.

2. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a condition that can occur after a stem cell or bone
marrow transplant, wherein the newly transplanted cells (the graft) recognize the recipient's
tissues as foreign and attack them. This immune response can lead to a range of symptoms
and complications, affecting various organs and systems in the body. GVHD can be acute or
chronic, depending on when it occurs after the transplant.

4. Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a
condition that can occur after a stem cell or
bone marrow transplant, where the
transplanted donor cells attack the recipient's
tissues. Unlike acute GVHD, chronic GVHD
develops more than 100 days after the
transplant and can affect various organs,
leading to persistent and sometimes long-term
complications. Chronic GVHD is a complex and
challenging condition that requires ongoing
medical management.

5. Acute Graft Versus Host Disease
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a
complication that can occur after a stem cell or
bone marrow transplant when immune cells
from the donor attack the recipient's tissues. It
typically develops within the first 100 days
after the transplant and can affect various
organs, leading to a range of symptoms. Acute
GVHD is a serious condition that requires
prompt diagnosis and treatment.
