Mohammed Khizr from Hyderabad was suffering from severe combined immunodeficiency
Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children in Mumbai has successfully performed a life-saving bone marrow transplant surgery on a 13-month-old boy from Hyderabad with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).
Mohammed Khizr was born to Raziya Sayed (29) and Karrar Ali (33) on December 24, 2019. Their happiness was short-lived as Mohammed would get fever and cough every alternate day. After giving medications prescribed by a paediatrician, his fever and cough would subside for a few days. Several tests conducted in a local hospital failed to provide a correct diagnosis.
The patient was referred to Wadia hospital where he was diagnosed with SCID in September 2020, Dr. Prashant Hiwarkar, a bone marrow transplant physician, said.
The 9-year-old needed a bone-marrow-transplant and her little brother came to the rescue, making him very likely the first 2nd Grade Hero in Austin's History.
