Overview

Despite the progress in the treatment of Crohn’s disease (CD), there are still patients with refractory to medical therapy, including immunosuppressants and biologicals. Recently, a new immunoablative therapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has been proposed for the management of intractable forms. The article reports the case of the first pa­tient with refractory CD who underwent ASCT in the Czech Republic. The patient, a 37-year-old man, after four intestinal resections with continuous disease activity despite intensive anti-inflammatory therapy, was treated with ASCT from May to July 2014 at the Department of Internal Medicine and Hematology, University Hospital Královské Vinohrady.
