Dr. Gerberding spoke after a special federal "vaccine court" ruled that the family of Hannah Poling, now nine, of Athens, Ga., is entitled to compensation from a federal vaccine injury fund.

Dr. Gerberding said the CDC could not comment on the Georgia case, but she added that mitochondrial disorders are known to have the potential to cause nerve and muscle tissue degeneration, sometimes with autism-like symptoms.

During the CDC press conference, Edwin Trevathan, M.D., director of the agency's Center for Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, said there is no solid evidence that administration of vaccines by themselves can cause a pre-existing mitochondrial effect to manifest itself.

The CDC, the FDA, the World Health Organization, the Institute of Medicine, and the American Academy of Pediatrics have all said there is no evidence linking autism with thimerosal, the mercury-based preservative that is no longer used in many childhood vaccines.
