Abstract
In 1997, the first consensus guidelines for haematopoietic SCT (HSCT) in autoimmune diseases (ADs) were published, while an international coordinated clinical programme was launched. These guidelines provided broad principles for the field over the following decade and were accompanied by comprehensive data collection in the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) AD Registry. Subsequently, retrospective analyses and prospective phase I/II studies generated evidence to support the feasibility, safety and efficacy of HSCT in several types of severe, treatment-resistant ADs, which became the basis for larger-scale phase II and III studies. In parallel, there has also been an era of immense progress in biological therapy in ADs. The aim of this document is to provide revised and updated guidelines for both the current application and future development of HSCT in ADs in relation to the benefits, risks and health economic considerations of other modern treatments. Patient safety considerations are central to guidance on patient selection and HSCT procedural aspects within appropriately experienced and Joint Accreditation Committee of International Society for Cellular Therapy and EBMT accredited centres. A need for prospective interventional and non-interventional studies, where feasible, along with systematic data reporting, in accordance with EBMT policies and procedures, is emphasized.

Abstract
Chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is generally a more benign disease than previously thought. Currently it is recommended that only those patients with severe and/or symptomatic thrombocytopenia definitely require treatment. Additional factors, such as age, lifestyle, and uremia can also influence the hemorrhagic risk and should be carefully assessed before decision-making on the appropriate management of patients with less severe forms of ITP. The recent introduction of new classes of therapeutic agents such as rituximab and the thrombopoietic growth factors has had a major impact on the management of ITP. Updated treatment guidelines have recently been made available but they are based largely on expert opinion rather than on high-quality clinical trial evidence. This structured review is focused on the management of adults with chronic ITP, including the use of new classes of agents.

Abstract
Previously published guidelines for the diagnosis and management of primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) require updating largely due to the introduction of new classes of therapeutic agents, and a greater understanding of the disease pathophysiology. However, treatment-related decisions still remain principally dependent on clinical expertise or patient preference rather than high-quality clinical trial evidence. This consensus document aims to report on new data and provide consensus-based recommendations relating to diagnosis and treatment of ITP in adults, in children, and during pregnancy. The inclusion of summary tables within this document, supported by information tables in the online appendices, is intended to aid in clinical decision making.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of rituximab for the treatment of adult patients with immune cytopenia, including idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and Evans syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of all patients treated with rituximab for immune cytopenia at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn, through January 1, 2003. Fourteen patients (median age at first diagnosis, 51 years; range, 21-79 years) were identified who received 1 or more treatment courses of rituximab for treatment of refractory ITP (12 patients), autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) (5 patients), or both ITP and AIHA (classified as Evans syndrome) (4 patients). Data regarding age, diagnosis, date of diagnosis, previous treatments, comorbid conditions, blood cell counts before taking rituximab, number of rituximab treatments, and response to treatment were extracted and analyzed. RESULTS Of 12 patients treated for ITP, 6 were receiving corticosteroid-based treatment either alone or combined with other immunosuppressive therapy at the time they received rituximab. Complete remission occurred in 5 (42%) of 12 patients with ITP and in 2 (40%) of 5 patients with AIHA. Response to rituximab in patients with Evans syndrome was seen in either ITP or AIHA, but not both. Complete response was often durable in ITP. Responses were seen in both splenectomized and nonsplenectomized patients. CONCLUSIONS Our findings, considered with the results of other studies, suggest that rituximab deserves early consideration as salvage therapy for immune cytopenias that are refractory to both corticosteroid treatment and splenectomy. This series represents the largest series of adult patients with AIHA and Evans syndrome.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is being increasingly utilized for the treatment of a whole spectrum of severe autoimmune diseases refractory to conventional therapy. Although allogeneic HSCT has been followed by durable complete remission in a restricted number of patients with coincidental disease, the autologous procedure is generally preferred because of its lesser toxicity. Most autoimmune diseases are the consequence of a multistep process, mainly originating from the interplay of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. It has been postulated that if immunosuppressive regimens can eliminate or effectively reduce the level of autoreactive T and B cells, then regeneration of de novo immunity even in the autologous setting may bypass the initial breakdown of self-tolerance and ensure prolonged disease remission. As mentioned in a recent review of this field, protocol design including conditioning regimen, patient selection, stem cell source and final outcome are likely to be disease-specific. The following is a summary of the 2002 International Bone Marrow Transplantation Registry/American Society of Blood and Bone Marrow Transplantation (IBMTR/ASBMT) satellite symposium in Orlando, Florida on 24 February 2002 on 'Expanding the Promise of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Autoimmune Diseases'.

Abstract
Evans' syndrome, a combination of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and autoimmune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura, is generally harder to treat and more refractory than the single entities. In a male patient with refractory disease, predominantly thrombocytopenic, an allogeneic reduced intensity BMT from his human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sister was followed by a dramatic platelet peak while he was still experiencing initial engraftment (presumably of autologous origin), but subsequently by progressive relapse associated with mixed chimerism. Five gradually incremental DLI achieved complete donor chimerism, which was associated not only with grade II graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), but also with complete clinical and biological remission for 2 years post-transplant. Long-term FU is necessary before claiming that allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is capable of curing an autoimmune blood disease. However, there is evidence for a graft-versus-autoimmunity effect in this case.
