Thumbs up Blood Test Could Improve GVHD Treatment

Hi all,
Now they perhaps have found a blood test (elafin levels) that can make it possible to see if a rash is due to GVHD or an adverse reaction due to antibiotics or other drugs. Then the doctor knows if the patient should have high-dose steroids that will suppress GVHD but further weaken a patient's already compromised immune system.
