Abstract

A 44-year-old man with relapsed HIV-associated stage IV nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease underwent high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation. The transplant was uncomplicated and the patient remains in complete remission at 59 months. Autologous stem cell transplantation is safe in HIV patients and can achieve long-term durable remissions in Hodgkin's disease.
