Dear Colleagues, we appreciate the suggestions posted on this case. They have been very educative and informative.

Interferon is not affordable. However, as at 31st October when I lasted discussed with the referring consultant, we agreed on leukapharesis. On the 3rd of November, I was disappointedly informed that the husband of the young girl, (22-year old primigravida) other family members and her obstetrician would prefer that the pregnancy be terminated. We have not been able to persuade them otherwise, and it does not appear the patient could do much in this case.

I would be able to provide latest information as soon as I have such.
Thank you for your interest.
