Early diagnosis of acute Gastrointestinal Graft-versus-Host disease (aGI-GvHD) has a strong impact on morbidity and mortality of patients who underwent haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Recent results at the investigators department showed that mucosal biopsies from the small intestine have a high diagnostic yield for aGI-GvHD specific changes. By performing an enteroscopic examination, aGI-GvHD suspected patients can be prevented from colonoscopy and prior bowel preparation which is clinically important, considering the rather bad general condition of this patient group. To further reduce invasive procedures the investigators want to evaluate the in vivo histological features of aGI-GvHD in the small bowel. Therefore aGI-GvHD suspected patients will undergo confocal laser endomicroscopy of the upper GI-tract, including duodenum and jejunum, in the context of a prospective clinical pilot trial. The histological evaluation of biopsy samples taken from these sites will be used as comparable gold standard. Endomicroscopic aspects of patients with celiac disease, infectious enteritis, inflammatory bowel disease and healthy subjects should serve as controls. If it is possible to diagnose aGI-GvHD from endomicroscopic features of the small bowel alone, this could be another important step to improve the diagnostic management of post HSCT patients, especially when taking of biopsy samples is difficult because of a bad coagulation status. Additionally, an accurate diagnosis in vivo could lead to immediate treatment to prevent progression and site spreading of the disease.
