The pulmonary function test results and mRSS values are shown in  Figure 1 . HCT patient recovered very quickly. His skin involvement as measured by mRSS decreased and his pulmonary function test results improved over time ( Figure 1 ). Within 3 months after the second HCT, again significant improvement of mRSS and pulmonary function was seen ( Figure 1 ). 6 months post-HCT, cyclosporine was discontinued and treatment with mycophenolate mofetil was initiated.
