Acetaminophen use after measles-mumps-rubella vaccination was associated with

autistic disorder.

Acetaminophen (paracetamol) use, measles-mumps-rubella vaccination, and autistic

disorder: The results of a parent survey .    Schultz ST , Klonoff-Cohen HS,

The present study was performed to determine whether acetaminophen (paracetamol)

use after the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination could be associated with

autistic disorder. This case-control study used the results of an online

parental survey conducted from 16 July 2005 to 30 January 2006 , consisting of

83 children with autistic disorder and 80 control children.

Acetaminophen use after measles-mumps-rubella vaccination was significantly

associated with autistic disorder when considering children 5 years of age or

less (OR 6.11, 95% CI 1.42-26.3), after limiting cases to children with

regression in development (OR 3.97, 95% CI 1.11-14.3), and when considering only

children who had post-vaccination sequelae (OR 8.23, 95% CI 1.56-43.3),

adjusting for age, gender, mother's ethnicity, and the presence of illness

concurrent with measles-mumps-rubella vaccination. Ibuprofen use after

measles-mumps-rubella vaccination was not associated with autistic disorder.

This preliminary study found that acetaminophen use after measles-mumps-rubella

vaccination was associated with autistic disorder.

So is wetting a diaper. So is breathing air. So is eating Chicken

McNuggets. So is watching The Wiggles.

Everything after ??R vaccine uptake can be associated with autistic

disorder.

Perhaps therefore, it is past time to finally associate the ??R

vaccine itself with autistic disorder? Gee, just maybe?
