Popis: Abstract Oral acute graft‐versus‐host disease (aGVHD) is rare and with no diagnostic criteria. We report a case of oral aGVHD with three clinical phases. A self‐limited prodrome of largely subjective oral symptoms was followed by concurrent oral and upper gastrointestinal aGVHD. Six months after transplantation, the patient was diagnosed with severe oral and upper gastrointestinal chronic GVHD. We compared the salivary microbiota of our patient at the time of diagnosis of aGVHD with 50 contemporaneous transplant recipients and found no evidence for oral microbiota involvement in pathogenesis. This in‐depth N‐of‐1 analysis reveals novel aspects of oral aGVHD pathogenesis.
