The expert committee suggested alternative diagnoses for all 48 patients who had reported symptoms such as rapidly progressing dementia, muscle spasms and atrophy.Patients and their families accused the provincial government of abandoning scientific rigour “in exchange for political expediency.” FREDERICTON — An expert committee has determined there is no evidence of a mysterious neurological disease in New Brunswick, health officials announced Thursday.
Health Minister Dorothy Shephard appointed a committee of six neurologists from the province, along with co-chairs from the two regional health authorities and a medical officer of health, to conduct a clinical review of the cases. InThe committee wrote that although some of the patients had unusual symptoms, “there is no evidence of a cluster of neurological syndrome of unknown cause.”
Shephard raised questions about the existence of a mystery brain syndrome last October and noted that 46 of the 48 cases were diagnosed by a single neurologist. Families of the 48 patients met virtually with Shephard earlier Thursday ahead of the report’s publication. Many of the patients had recently received letters from the committee to say they don’t have an unknown neurological condition and should contact their doctor for more details.
