In all cases it is strongly recommended to obtain optimal control of hemophagocytic syndrome previous to undertaking hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

A - Genotypical identical donor

• Rabbit ATG day-14 to -10 (5 days), dose 10 mg/kg/day

   • Busulfan: day -10 to -7; age < 6y 5 mg/kg/day × 4;age > 6y 4 mg/kg/day × 4

   • Cyclophosphamide: day -5 to -2; 50 mg/kg/day × 4

B - Matched unrelated donor/Phenotype identical related donor/HLA-nonidentical haplo or mismatched family donor.

• Rabbit ATG day-14 to -10 (5 days), dose 10 mg/kg

   • Busulfan: day -10 to -7; age < 6y 5 mg/kg/day × 4;age > 6y 4 mg/kg/day × 4

   • Cyclophosphamide: day -5 to -2; 50 mg/kg/day × 4

   • Positive selection of CD34+ cells in Stem cell source aiming to have T cell counts <104/kg

   • Ciclosporine A if T cell counts above 104/kg despite positive selection of CD34+ cells
