Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening immunodeficiency characterized by severe systemic hyper-inflammatory responses to infectious or other triggers of the immune system. In many patients, the underlying cause of HLH is a genetic defect leading to defective CD8+ T-cell and natural killer cell granule-mediated cytotoxicity. The treatment of HLH consists principally of immune suppression followed by allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to cure the underlying defect and prevent relapse of HLH. Initial treatment regimens consist of steroids coupled with either etoposide or antithymocyte globulin, +/- cyclosporine. Complete responses are observed in only 50-75% of patients and even after a complete response, relapse and death still occur. The only definitive, long-term cure for patients with genetic forms of HLH is allogeneic HCT. Unfortunately, allogeneic HCT for patients with HLH is often complicated by critical illness, extensive organ involvement, active infections, or refractory HLH. For these reasons, patients are unusually prone to developing transplant-related toxicities and complications. In recent years, great strides have been made with regard to the care and transplantation of patients with HLH. Here we review the current state of the treatment of patients with HLH with allogeneic HCT, highlighting the important steps forward that have been made with reduced-intensity conditioning.
