Dec. 12, 1972 - Child is cured by Marrow bone transplantation for first time in Scandanavia, a child has been cured by marrow bone transplantation, and for the first time ever the donor was without any family relationship to the child, so that tissue for the transplantation was of another type. It has until now been the belief that to succeed in this type of transplantation the tissue should be of the same type. The little boy was born 18 months ago without bodily means of resisting the multi-million germs and virus in the outside air. For fifteen months he stayed in a sterile box constantly supervised by nurses and doctors. The boy is now regarded as cured and immune against germs and for the first time in his life he could be held in the arms of his mother. The man behind the new revolutionary method of marrow transplantation is Professor Dr. Viggo Faber, at the Blegdams hospital in Copenhagen
