The full form of SCID is Severe Combined Immune Deficiency, it is a immunodeficiency disease.

Immune System

The treatment for SCID today is bone marrow transplant.

It differs from David Vetter's treatment options in the 1970s because it required a bone marrow transplant from an exact matched donor to cure SCID.

It took a long for David to receive a bone marrow transplant because non of his family members had matched bone marrow.

We learned a lot about the immune system as it protects us from diseases, viruses and germs around us.

David's condition helped scientific advances by understanding the use of gene therapy and the nature of cancer.

David remains remote from others for 12 years. He lived his entire life in a germ-free plastic bubble.

David's parents help him connect socially by allowing him to have friends.
