Abstract
- One important differential diagnosis of facial erythema in a patient receiving an allogeneic bone marrow transplant ( BMT) is acute graft-versus-host disease ( GVHD). Demodex folliculorum has been rarely implicated in the development of facial rashes in immunosuppressed patients, including BMT recipients. We report the case of a patient, suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who after bone marrow transplantation developed a facial rash due to D. folliculorum mimicking GVHD. Differential diagnosis of facial rashes and demodicidosis after BMT is reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
