摘要
We report three patients with lethal forms of acute GVHD in whom all biopsy specimens showed a striking. preponderance of macrophages in the inflammatory infiltrate with production of TNF-alpha, The role of the macrophage/TNF-alpha axis in human acute GVHD is examined and the existence of primary macrophagic forms of GVHD is discussed.
