With rare diseases, the baby boy was born "immune to 0"

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client July 21 (Reporter Wang Chunlan Correspondent Xue Yuan) suffers from genetic diseases. After the baby boy Ming Ming (pseudonym) was born, his body had no resistance. threaten. In Wuhan Children's Hospital, the treatment of neonatal medicine, respiratory department, hematological tumor department, precision medical laboratory, medical imaging department and other multi -subject experts in hand in hand, and won the vitality for Ming Ming to win the opportunity of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. On July 21, the child recovered and was discharged from the hospital. In the future, he could grow up safely in the natural environment like other children.

Mingming is from Xinyang City, Henan Province. In March of this year, as soon as he was born, he began to have a fever and lived in the hospital. The cause was not found in the local hospital, and Mr. Shao, his father, took him to Wuhan for treatment.

In the Department of Newborn in Wuhan Children's Hospital, Ming Ming was diagnosed with rare epithelial pneumonia, which was relieved after treatment. But such a small child has pneumonia caused by fungal infection, which is too rare. Chief Physician Zeng Lingkong of the Newborn Internal Medicine considers that children may have congenital immune defects. It is recommended to do related gene screening.

Subsequently, the blood samples of Ming Ming's family were sent to the Precision Medicine Laboratory of Wuhan Children's Hospital. One month later, the results of the genetic screening showed that Mingming had a rare disease "X Chain Chronic Cute Carele Bad", which was only about 1/25,000 to 1/200,000, which was a kind of primary immune defect.

Chen Peng, deputy chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Department, introduced that there was a problem with the immune cells in Mingming's blood. The human body had no immunity, and the body could not resist after infection. Conventional anti -infection can only temporarily help the body to relieve symptoms. If you want to cure, you must accept hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as soon as possible and re -establish normal immune function.

"To cure him, you can't give up him!" Parents are determined to fight for transplantation opportunities for Mingming as soon as possible. Soon, good news from the Chinese hematopoietic stem cell donor database (hereinafter referred to as the "Chinese bone marrow library") came, and volunteers were successfully matched with Ming Ming. After learning the basic situation of Ming Ming, volunteers proposed to donate the marrow as soon as possible to save small lives.

All processes have entered the "acceleration". On June 20, only 3 months old Mingming stayed in the transplant ward and accepted hematopoietic stem cells from Changsha from Hunan. Under the careful care of the medical staff, he successfully passed the post -transplantation level, successfully leaned out and transferred to the general ward to continue observation.

Dr. He Xuelian, director of the precise medical laboratory of the hospital, introduced that, like Ming Ming's parents, the husband and wife who had giving birth to a genetic disease child can prevent birth defects through genetic testing when they are pregnant again.
