Association between thimerosal-containing vaccine and autism.
CONTEXT Mercuric compounds are nephrotoxic and neurotoxic at high doses. Thimerosal, a preservative used widely in vaccine formulations, contains ethylmercury. Thus it has been suggested that childhood vaccination with thimerosal-containing vaccine could be causally related to neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism. OBJECTIVE To determine whether vaccination with a thimerosal-containing ...
متن کاملBRIEF REPORT Association Between Thimerosal-Containing Vaccine and Autism
HIGH DOSES OF MERCURIC COMpounds are nephrotoxic and neurotoxic. Thimerosal, an organic compound that contains ethylmercury, has been widely used since the 1930s as a preservative in certain vaccines. In the 1990s, an increasing number of different vaccines containing thimerosal were introduced in immunization schedules around the world, and thus the average cumulative exposure to thimerosal in...
متن کامل[Addressing the controversy regarding the association between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism].
Vaccination is one of the most important public health interventions in the reduction childhood morbidity and mortality. Thimerosal is an organic mercury compound used as preservante in multi-dose vials. Often in Peru, there are waves of controversy about the safety of this type of vaccines, mainly arguing that there is an association between them and autism. As a result of these controversies,...
متن کاملAutism and thimerosal-containing vaccines: lack of consistent evidence for an association.
BACKGROUND In 1999, concerns were raised that vaccines containing the preservative Thimerosal might increase the risk of autism and/or other neurodevelopmental disorders. METHODS Between the mid-1980s through the late-1990s, we compared the prevalence/incidence of autism in California, Sweden, and Denmark with average exposures to Thimerosal-containing vaccines. Graphic ecologic analyses were...
متن کاملAn Investigation into the Supposed Link between Thimerosal-containing Vaccines and Autism
Thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative used in vaccines, was implicated in 1997 to be linked to autism. Recent in vitro studies suggest that the concentration of thimerosal, and subsequently ethyl mercury, present in vaccines is not cytotoxic. A paucity of studies done specifically with thimerosal has led lawmakers to base regulations on the toxicological profile of methyl mercury. Howev...
