Background/aim: We report three adult patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID) treated with reduced-intensity allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with fludarabine/treosulfan conditioning and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis with alemtuzumab and a calcineurin inhibitor.

Case Report: Patient 1, a 51-year-old male, had common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) with protein-losing enteropathy. Patient 2 was a 29-year-old woman with STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3)-dependent hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES).
