In this ppt, Dr. David Greene Arizona discusses treatment options for hemophagocytic lymph histiocytosis (HLH), including stem cell transplant. HLH is a rare, potentially fatal disease in which the body's immune system goes into overdrive, causing widespread inflammation. A stem cell transplant can help to reset the immune system and allow it to function properly again.

2. THE INTRODUCTION

3. PRE-HSCT TREATMENT

4. CONDITIONING REGIMENS
AND ADVERSE EVENTS

5. ALTERNATIVE DONORS
Especially in patients lacking
HLA identical donors, the
quality of remission is
essential to improve survival
rates

6. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Although HSCT is a recognized
curative treatment for primary HLH,
certain conditions can prove more
challenging, particularly when
deciding if, or when, to proceed with
transplant.

APPROACHES WILL
PROBABLY BE
AVAILABLE IN THE
FUTURE FOR THE MOST
FREQUENT HLH DEFECTS
