چکیده

primary immunodeficiencies constitute a group of highly complex congenital disorders most of which are characterized by a very poor prognosis. allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) has become an established curative treatment approach in many of these disorders, which may be permanently corrected. in this presentation basic and practical aspects of hsct are presented, with an emphasis on its application in lymphocyte disorders such as severe combined immunodeficiency (scid). optimal results and outcome of hsct are highly dependant on early and correct diagnosis of these rare disorders, and hsct should usually be applied early in the course of the disease in order to prevent irreversible complications from infections. clinical results will be summarized based on recent analysis performed in large patient cohorts, which have shown steady improvements and have led to a marked change in the prognosis of patients with primary immunodeficiencies.

Unlike more standard approaches, such regimens can be used without severe toxicity in patients with severe pulmonary or hepatic disease. RIT also offers the advantage that long-term sequelae such as infertility or growth retardation ma...

Successful treatment of lymphoproliferative disease complicating primary immunodeficiency/immunodysregulatory disorders with reduced-intensity allogeneic stem-cell transplantation.

Lymphoproliferative disease (LPD) is a recognized complication of primary immunodeficiency (PID) and immunodysregulatory syndromes. Historically, it has a very poor outcome. For patients surviving LPD, myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) was the only cure for the underlying PID, with a high risk of developing posttransplantation complications, including recurrent lymphop...

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Thalassemia

Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with defective synthesis of the α- or β-chain of hemoglobin. For β-thalassemia major patients, therapeutic options are either monthly red cell transfusions and chelation therapy or allogeneic stem cell transplant. Stem cell transplant is the only curative approach and success is inversely correlated with the degree of iron overload and h...
