Response to nitazoxanide | Dose: 32mg/kg/d Given for norovirus- for 5 weeks with no improvement in skin lesions |
Dose: 7mg/kg/d Tried for one year without improvement |
Dose: 11mg/kg/d Tried for five months without improvement |
Dose: 22mg/kg/d Slowing in progression and loss of rubella in skin on biopsy but subsequent involvement of bone |
Dose: 16mg/kg/d Tried for 5 months without clinical improvement although rubella became undetectable by immunohistochemistry |
Dose: 25mg/kg/d Tried for 4 months, no improvement |
Dose: 20mg/kg/d After two months, lesions in skin, liver and kidney improved and improvement was sustained until death |
Outcome | HSCT with ultimate death at d+ 135 although with improvement in lesions | Progression of granulomas with persistent rubella on repeat biopsy | HSCT with improvement in lesions (currently d+140) | Alive | Deceased from PML | Alive without HSCT (age at last F/U 18 years) | Deceased from PML |
