Abstract

The causal relation of thimerosal (ethylmercury), preservative

in pediatric vaccines, and the increase of children's

neurodevelopmental disorders as a result of the increase in

immunization schemes is determined.

The scientific information on thimerosal and its influence on

the child's neurodevelopmental disorders is reviewed. Evidences found

in epidemiological, ecological, biomolecular, toxicology, biosecurity,

fetal toxicology and reproductive health studies signal the possible

causal association of thimerosal exposition and neurodevelopmental

disorders of the child. Such neurotoxicity occurs in infants and

fetuses of vaccinated pregnant women, due to mercury cumulative doses.

The various evidences imply thimerosal as the causal agent,

aggravating or triggering neurodevelopmental disorders of the child.

The mercury toxicity forced progressive thimerosal withdrawal.

Unfortunately, there was a delay in demonstrating thimerosal negative

impact.
