Patient description: The patients is a 25-year-old G1 P1 pregnant woman who is 24W3D gestational old who developed a sudden unset of fever and chills, accompany with nausea and vomiting. She also complains of dysuria, urgency and frequency. She also reports some severe pain in the flank. Her vital signs are: T = 39.7ºC, P = 117, R = 20, and BP = 113/74 mm Hg. Physical examination reveals tenderness on palpation of both costovertebral angles. She has no history of recurrent UTI prior to her pregnancy or any other underlying disease. The urine culture showed Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterial cells, leukocytes, and leukocyte casts. The blood culture is negative. A CBC shows Hb 12.9 g/dL, Hct 39%, MCV 76 fL, WBC count 14,120/µL.

Clinical trial eligibility criteria: eligible ages (years): 10.0-30.0,  Crohn's Disease All the subjects considered eligible for the study will be screened and reviewed by the Gastroenterology (GI) physicians prior to enrollment (Dedrick Moulton, MD or his designee at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital) 2. Age ≥ 10 and < 30 years 3. Disease status: 1. Confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's Disease: Diagnosis of Crohn's disease that has been established based on typical endoscopic/histologic and/or radiological appearances. 2. Active disease, defined as: Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (PCDAI) >30 (see Appendix I) or Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) of >250 (see Appendix II) at any time within 3 months prior to enrollment and any one of the following i. Endoscopic evidence of active disease confirmed on histology within 3 months prior to enrollment, or ii. Clear evidence of active small bowel Crohn's disease on small bowel imaging within 3 months prior to enrollment. 3. Refractory disease Moderate to severe disease that has been unresponsive to current or prior therapy with mercaptopurine and/or azathioprine (thiopurines), methotrexate and anti-TNF therapy. Patients should have relapsing disease (i.e. ≥ 1 exacerbation/year) or corticosteroid dependence despite current or prior thiopurines, methotrexate and anti-TNF maintenance therapy or clear demonstration of intolerance or toxicity to these drugs. Patients who fail induction therapy with corticosteroids and anti-TNF therapy, and are therefore not eligible to receive maintenance therapy with thiopurines or methotrexate will also be candidates for enrollment. 4. Negative stool culture, C. difficile, and negative CMV pcr (in stool or colonic biopsy). Patients with CMV colitis will receive a trial of anti-viral treatment and only responders will be considered eligible for inclusion. 5. Patients with a prior ileostomy or colostomy may enter the study. For this group of patients', physician's global assessment will be used to assess clinical activity of CD, as Pediatric CDAI and CDAI scoring method may not be representative of disease activity. 6. Patients with abscesses are eligible to enroll once the abscesses or any other significant infection has resolved  Pregnancy or unwillingness to use adequate contraception during the study if a woman is of childbearing age. 2. HIV infection. 3. Organ function 1. Renal: creatinine clearance < 50 ml/min/1.73m2 (measured or estimated). 2. Cardiac: left ventricular ejection fraction <30% by multigated radionuclide angiography (MUGA) or a shortening fraction of < 25% by cardiac echocardiogram. 3. Pulmonary Function tests: DLCO < 30% or patient on oxygen. 4. Hepatic: serum bilirubin > 3 mg%; AST and ALT > 3x ULN for the institutional lab. 4. Uncontrolled Hypertension (using age based criteria) despite at least 2 anti- hypertensive agents. 5. Active Infection or risk thereof- 1. Current abscess or significant active infection 2. Perianal infection is not an criterion, provided there is drainage with or without placement of drain. 3. Abnormal chest x ray (CXR) consistent with active infection or neoplasm. 6. Severe diarrhea due to short small bowel; patients believed to have < 700 mm of small bowel and diarrhea attributable to this will be excluded. 7. Patients with toxic megacolon, active bowel obstruction or intestinal perforation. 8. Unable to collect minimum of 3 x106/kg CD34+ cell dose. These patients will be excluded from receiving the preparative regimen
