Rare Illness Seen After Vaccine

By a WALL STREET JOURNAL Staff Reporter

October 24, 2006; Page D2

WASHINGTON -- The Food and Drug Administration said 12 cases of a rare

neurological disorder have been reported since October 2005 following the

administration of a vaccine manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines

business of Sanofi-Aventis of France, to prevent meningococcal disease.

The neurological disease, called Guillain Barre Syndrome, can occur either

spontaneously or after certain infections, often in healthy individuals,

according to the FDA. It typically causes increasing weakness in leg, arm

and other muscles that can be severe and require hospitalization. The

disorder usually resolves on its own, although some people may have

residual neurological deficits.

In October last year, the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention issued an alert saying there had been five reported cases of GBS

following administration of the vaccine, Menactra.

In a statement yesterday, the agencies said there have been a total of 15

confirmed cases of GBS among people between 11 years and 19 years of age

and two additional cases in people age 20 or older. Those people are

recovering or have recovered, they said.

The FDA said, however, that there isn't enough evidence to blame Menactra

for the disorder and that people should continue to follow their doctors'

recommendations.

Sanofi-Aventis couldn't be reached for comment.

Meningococcal disease is a major cause of bacterial meningitis, an

infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord, and blood-stream

infections. The disease affects about one in 100,000 people between 11

years and 19 years of age annually.

Kay, I didn't know so many people recover from GBS. I thought it was

This has been known for some time (the 70s), and it's way more than 12 cases,

that's for sure! Glad someone in the media could finally catch up to the rest of

us. Very glad to see this coverage.

I have personally only known a couple of people who had GBS. They all

recovered. There is no cure for GBS, just supportive care until it ends,

which can take months or even years to fully recover.

Here is a link that tells about GBS:

http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/DS/00413.html

Are you thinking of ALS maybe?

Is it a virus that runs it's course? I can't look into the link just now, but

will get to it later. Thanks, Anita

It's an autoimmune reaction where the immune system attacks the nerves

outside the brain and spinal cord.

Well, I know it's not ALS. No one that I know of has ever recovered from ALS and

that's what mymother died of. I do know there are many cases of GBS after a flu

shot.

And I believe there have been a few reported cases of GBS after the gardisil

shots as well. So sorry about your mom. I don't know much about ALS except what

I saw when I recently watched the movie Lorenzo's Oil. But they said only boys

were affflicted. I hope I'm not screwing up the diseases again.......Anita

Yes, GBS has been linked to several different vaccines.

ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

But I think that's ALD from that movie. Too many abbreviations to keep

track of. : )

So sorry about your mother, .

I think Anita was thinking of another disorder than GBS since GBS isn't a

degenerative disorder. That's what I meant when I suggested maybe she was

thinking of ALS since it IS degenerative and always fatal.

Perhaps it's bedtime for this tired and wornout mama. I'll check it all out

It IS an awful disease. The sister of a friend of mine had it several years

ago. She had a trach and was on a ventilator for quite some time. The

scary thing is your mind isn't affect. The victim hear everything that's

going on around them, but they're paralyzed and unable to speak.

And it IS potentially fatal.

Even conventional medicine admits that vaccines can be one of the triggers

for GBS.

Thanks. I've never seen that movie. It did used to be predominantly men, but

it's moved into women now and their cases were growing by leaps and bounds and

she died in 1995.

It's the new *polio*, isn't it? The one that nobody gets because they've

had the IPV?

I have an aunt who developed GBS soon after the swine flu vaccine

back in the 70's. Thankfully she recovered. Although since then she

has had horrible health problems.
