Dying ‘bubble boy’ Rhys Harris is saved by a new immune system - The Times 4th June 2008

A seven-year-old boy from Wales has become the second person in the world to be declared cured of a life-threatening genetic defect that destroyed his immune system. Rhys Harris was 3 when doctors diagnosed the condition, known as Nemo, which left his body unable to fight infection. He was suffering from incurable tuberculosis when doctors decided that his only hope of survival was an entirely new immune system. They warned his parents, Kevin and Dawn, that he had barely a 30 per cent chance of survival.
