Abstract
- Crohn's disease usually runs a chronic relapsing and remitting course, characterized by a repeated need for immunosuppressive drug therapy or often surgery, and is considered to be incurable by standard treatment. We report a case of successful long-term disease control of Crohn's disease following autologous bone marrow transplantation. This case provides further support for the concept that some forms of severe immune-mediated diseases may be amenable to treatment by high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell support.
