PUBLIC HEALTHMMR Shot Fears Gain Support By Chapman, Daily Mail

Dr Arthur Krigsman The safety of the MMR vaccine was again called into question yesterday after American research appeared to back the British doctor who first linked it to autism and bowel disease. Dr Wakefield was vilified after claiming to have identified a combined syndrome of autism and bowel disease in children who had been given the measles, mumps and rubella

injection. Government scientists and the Department of Health dismissed his findings as flawed and insisted the MMR jab was safe. Critics claimed that not a single piece of research by Dr Wakefield and his colleagues had been replicated elsewhere. But now experts at New York University School of Medicine have reported the first independent corroboration of the findings that first sparked concern. Dr Arthur Krigsman, a consultant paediatric gastroenterologisthas observed serious intestinal inflammation in 43 autistic children. At a U.S. Congressional hearing on the safety of MMR last week, he said his patients had inexplicably deteriorated, losing language and other skills at around 12 to 18 months of age. All the children had been referred to him

because they also had unexplained digestive problems such as pain, constipation and diarrhoea. Tests revealed that 90 per cent had the same inflammatory bowel disease reported by Dr Wakefield in patients he examined at the Royal Free Hospital in London four years ago. Dr Krigsman said last night: 'Our findings, which are independent of Dr Wakefield's, completely support his explanation and his observations of the abnormalities in the bowels of these children. 'They mirror exactly what he has described.' The doctor, an assistant professor at New York University, said he did not know whether the illnesses were linked to MMR. But he now plans to examine biopsies taken from the children for evidence of infection with the measles virus. Pathologists at Trinity College, Dublin, claimed

earlier this month they had evidence from similar experiments on 75 children, identifying measles virus from the MMR vaccine in bowel tissue samples. Though this is far from proof that the jab actually triggered autism or bowel disease, some experts saw it as significant. Dr Krigsman said: 'Our concern was to determine whether there was bowel inflammation in these autistic children. 'The answer was yes.
