Resumen

CASTILLO PEREZ, Alexeide de la C. et al. Ocular damage in graft-versus-host disease. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.1  Epub 17-Jun-2020. ISSN 1561-3070.

Allogeneic transplantation of hematopoietic precursors is indicated in the treatment of various blood disorders, particularly malignant neoplasms. Graft-versus-host disease is the main complication of allogeneic transplants of hematopoietic organs. GVHD is an immunological condition caused by the interaction between the donor and the recipient manifested as innate and adaptive responses. It very often affects the skin and the gastrointestinal system. A variety of ocular manifestations may also occur, the most common of which are ocular surface alterations. Changes in the ocular surface may cause blindness. Early diagnosis and treatment improve prognosis. Besides the general treatment of the disease it is necessary to implement specific measures to control ocular alterations. A review was conducted of published papers on the topic to become acquainted with graft-versus-host disease and the ocular damage it causes.

Palabras clave : Graft-versus-host disease; ocular surface; ocular damage.
