Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Pediatrics Science & Technology
Acute weakness and dyspnoea are unusual presentation after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) complicated by chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The differential diagnosis and management are challenging for the paediatrician. This case chronicles the diagnostic journey of a child who presented with weakness, dyspnoea and difficulty in speech, 2 years after allogeneic HSCT and GVHD and explores the approach to neurological manifestations in this context.
