Daily Mail- Bryant Hackett is being forced to attend an all-boys school because he is dangerous to women - at least if they're pregnant.
He is 14 and has been diagnosed with cytomegalovirus (CMV) and has been told by medics he is to avoid close contact with expectant women for the foreseeable future.
Although the virus is not causing Bryant to suffer any symptoms, it could be harmful if contracted by a pregnant woman.

He is even unable to have any contact with his sister Terri Wooton, 20, who is expecting a baby in a few weeks’ time.
Bryant, of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, said: ‘I miss my sister a lot and can’t wait until she gives birth. She is due in a few weeks.’
He was left with a weakened immune system, which caused him to contract pneumonia which his mother says almost killed him.

Leanne, 36, said: ‘At one point I honestly thought he was going to die.
