Key Points Fingolimod could be efficient to treat GVHD of the central nervous system. Further research should explore the use of fingolimod and other sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonists to prevent or treat GVHD.

As an adverse immune phenomenon, graft-versus-host disease often occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease is about 40–60% and the mortality rate can reach 15%, which is a potentially fatal disease. There are rare GvHD cases involving the central nervous system. We reported a rare case of diffuse white matter changes after haploid bone marrow transplantation, summarizing its clinical manifestations and diagnosis and treatment in conjunction with the literature.

Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) is a rare complication of liver transplantation with a mortality rate exceeding 65%. A 53-year-old male presented with a diffuse maculopapular rash, diarrhea, lymphopenia, fever, and confusion 14 days after orthotopic liver transplantation for hepatitis B cirrhosis. Skin biopsy and HLA- typing of peripheral blood confirmed a diagnosis of solid organ transplant related GVHD. This report summarizes what is known about this disease and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, which is one of the only factors known to improve the mortality of this deadly condition.
