bone marrow or stem cell transplant in patients with HIV may correlate with a low viral
burden and relatively good immune function.

Abstract
We present the case of an asymptomatic HIV carrier, who presented with acute myeloblastic leukemia in third relapse and successfully underwent autologous stem cell transplantation as a rescue treatment. This observation supports the conclusion that tolerance of autologous bone marrow or stem cell transplant in patients with HIV may correlate with a low viral burden and relatively good immune function.
