Pediatric Critical Care of South Florida recently treated a patient suffering from an underlying immune deficiency known as x-linked hyper IgM syndrome CD40L, a condition that affects the immune system and occurs almost exclusively in males. The life-threatening diagnosis was discovered when the patient was just three months old.
The patient spent two months under PCCSF’s care and required around the clock, bedside critical care management. Today, the patient is 11 months old and is back home in Naples with his family where he awaits a bone marrow transplant from his big sister, which is scheduled for next summer.
Read about the care the patient received while at PCCSF, how he’s doing today, and how you can donate to the family’s GoFundMe page in their interview with Naples Daily News: http://www.naplesnews.com/story/news/health/2017/08/19/naples-infant-needs-bone-marrow-transplant/566244001/
