A man known as 'Duesseldorf patient' became the third person to be declared cured of HIV and leukemia for receiving a stem cell transplant. Details about Duesseldorf's recovery, whose name has not yet been officially released--were relayed through a scientific case study published in the journal Nature Medicine. A patient referred to as a 'Düsseldorf patient' became the third person to successfully recover from HIV and leukemia. This happens after the patient has received a stem cell or spinal cord transplant. The patient was a 53-year-old man who was diagnosed positive for HIV type 1 (HIV-1) in 2008. About three years later, the patient, whose identity has not been revealed, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia or blood cancer. In 2013, 'Düsseldorf patients' received stem cell transplants. It is known that stem cell donors have a rare mutation in the CCR5 gene, which provides resistance to certain types of HIV, such as HIV-1. Quoted from DW News Tuesda
