RESUMEN
La enfermedad injerto versus huésped (EIVH) es una entidad de frecuente presentación en las personas que son intervenidas con alotrasplantes. Es inducida y mantenida por las células inmunocompetentes del injerto, que atacan los tejidos del huésped; especialmente los epitelios. El diagnóstico de la EIVH es clínico, apoyado en la histopatología, pero esta, por sí misma, no permite diagnosticar la entidad. La primera línea de tratamiento de la EIVH continúan siendo los esteroides sistémicos y ante refractariedad para estos, aparecen nuevas terapéuticas que resultan efectivas en casos reportados en la literatura, sin que aún se hayan podido definir guías de manejo para este tipo de pacientes. Se necesita realizar estudios de terapéutica en pacientes refractarios a esteroides para poder concluir al respecto.
Graft versus host disease is a condition of frequent occurrence in people who are implanted with allogeneic transplants. The diagnosis is clinical, supported by histopathology, but this, by itself does not make a diagnosis. The first line of treatment for this entity are systemic steroids. For the patient refractory to systemic steroids, new therapeutics that could be useful are reported, but not yet defined its use and none were superior to steroids. Studies are needed to define the approach to the patient refractory to steroids.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) represents one of the great success stories in hematology going from a uniformly fatal disease, to one that is curable in the vast majority of cases. Despite this success, some patients experience relapse. To address this unmet need a variety of agents, classes of drugs, and strategies have demonstrated activity in HL recurring after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. These include chemotherapeutics (gemcitabine-based combinations, bendamustine), histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (panobinostat), immunomodulatory agents (lenalidomide), mTOR inhiobitors (everolimus), monoclonal antibodies (rituximab), and antibody-drug conjugates (brentuximab vedotin) as well the potential of long-term disease control via allogeneic transplantation. Such advances reflect our increased understanding of the biology of HL and hold promise for continued improved outcomes for those suffering with this condition.

In this review the authors present a state of art tretment of multiple myeloma.High dose chemo-radiotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been show to be superior a conventional chemotherapy and a double transplantation. The authors discuss too, the allogeneic transplantation with reduced intensity conditioning, allogeneic versus tandem autologous, results the patients long term outcome and a approach about the use of donor lymphocytes, anti thimocyte globulin and a overview of post transplant therapies.
Neste relato os autores apresentam uma revisão sobre o estado atual do tratamento mieloma múltiplo. São enfatizados aspectos sobre a vantagem do transplante autólogo em seguimento à quimioterapia convencional e o duplo transplante. São discutidos o transplante alogênico e o condicionamento com intensidade reduzida, além do uso de linfócitos do doador, da globulina antitimocítica e uma visão geral do futuro da terapia da moléstia.
