Thailand’s Ramathibodi Hospital has conducted what is believed to be the world’s first successful bone marrow stem cell transplant from a five-year old donor infected with COVID-19 to his seven-year old thalassemia-afflicted sister.

 

The successful stem cell transplant was revealed today by the Faculty of Medicine at Ramathibodi Hospital of Mahidol University and the Ramathibodi Foundation.

 

Professor Dr. Suradet Hong-ing, a stem cell transplant specialist, said the case was very challenging, because both donor and recipient are quite young and the donor is infected with coronavirus. The recipient is weak and has a compromised immune system following a course of chemo-therapy.
