Transplant patient changes blood type
January 25, 2008
CANBERRA, Australia – A teenage girl has become the world's first known transplant patient to change blood types and take on the immune system of her organ donor, doctors said
Demi-Lee Brennan, 15, received a donor liver when she was 9 years old and her own liver failed.
Brennan's body changed blood type from O negative to O positive when she became ill while on drugs to avoid rejection of the organ by her body's immune system. Her new liver's blood stem cells then invaded her body's bone marrow to take over her entire immune system, meaning the teen no longer needs anti-rejection drugs.
Doctors from Sydney's Westmead Children's Hospital said they had no explanation for Brennan's recovery, detailed in The New England Journal of Medicine.
