[PAGID] Complete DiGeorge options

Just to remind us that the experience unmanipulated BMT for complete DGS is limited to a handful of individual cases reported, and thought to be actually a transplant of committed T cell progenitors (lack of naive cells, similar results with 'transplant' of PBMC), and also limted to availability of HLA identical donor. 3 unpublished cases of HLA haploidentical BMT did not survive (per Dr. Buckley's BMT chapter on Rich's book 2nd ed)
Dr. Markert's experience with thymus transplant at Duke is of 44 patients tranplanted (HLA haploidentical), with a survival of 75% (33%) and documentation of presence naive T cells and restoration of T cell repertoire, as per her las report in Blood.

immediately.

Certainly if a well matched donor were available a reduced intensity
conditioning regimen may be sufficient in this situation and something to
consider. I would agree that a transplant will be necessary.

brief interval prior to transplant we had him on very sturdy
immunosuppression. These days, I might think about Campath as an option.
