BACKGROUND: Acute skin erythematous lesions that follow allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and are histologically diagnosed as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) are often associated with reactivation of latent herpes simplex virus (HSV).
OBJECTIVE: To further examine the relationship between reactivated HSV and GVHD development.
METHODS: We present 3 patients with acute skin GVHD after allogeneic HSCT who were studied prospectively for expression of the HSV antigen Pol, which is involved in HSV-associated erythema multiforme.
RESULTS: Pol was expressed in the GVHD lesions but not the pre-HSCT normal skin or peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Lesion severity correlated with the Pol levels but not the histopathologically defined GVHD grade. Lesion development was accompanied by increased numbers of Pol+ circulating/skin-infiltrating CD34+ stem cells and CD1a+ and other dermal dendritic cells.
CONCLUSIONS: Subclinical HSV infection of circulating CD34+ cells can contribute to some post-HSCT skin lesions histologically diagnosed as GVHD, with potential preventive and therapeutic implications.
