Yup.. tis true.

Abstract

Background: Children with developmental disorders experience chronic

gastrointestinal symptoms.

Aims: To examine the nature of these gastrointestinal symptoms and

histologic findings in children with autism spectrum/developmental disorders

and ileocolonic disease.

Methods: Chart review. 143 autism spectrum/developmental disorder patients,

with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms, undergoing diagnostic

ileocolonoscopy.

Results: Diarrhea was present in 78%, abdominal pain in 59% and

constipation in 36%. Ileal and/or colonic lymphonodular hyperplasia (LNH),

defined as the presence of an increased number of enlarged lymphoid

follicles, often with hyperactive germinal centers, was present in 73.2%.

Terminal ileum LNH presented visually in 67% and histologically in 73%.

Colonic LNH was multifocal and presented histologically in 32%. Ileal and/or

colonic inflammation presented in 74%, consisting primarily of active or

chronic colitis (69%). Ileal inflammation presented in 35%. Presence of LNH

significantly predicted mucosal inflammation. Patients with ileal and/or

colonic LNH had lower mean/median age than those without; patients with

ileal and/or colonic inflammation had lower mean/median age than those

without. There was a significant association between ileo and/or colonic

inflammation or LNH, and onset of developmental disorder; plateaued or

regressive onset conferred greater risk than early onset.

Conclusions: Patients with autism or related disorders exhibiting chronic

gastrointestinal symptoms demonstrate ileal or colonic inflammation upon

light microscopic examination of biopsy tissue. Further work is needed to

determine whether resolution of histopathology with appropriate therapy is

accompanied by GI symptomatic and cognitive/behavioral improvement.

Subject: [ ] Wakefield replicated?

I thought there have been additional studies where Wakefield's results were

replicated? Some as recently as the past month?

Yes, from the thoughtful house team, I posted it. But you see how this is,

those who have " the frypan by the handle " are ready to bury us alive is that

means keeping their lies on stage. Disgusting, this is what you can call

criminals.
