More Cases of Swine Flu Vaccine-Related Narcolepsy
New Suspected Narcolepsy Cases in FinlandAbout ten new suspected cases of swine flu vaccine-related narcolepsy have been reported in Finland. The National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) says that altogether 69 suspected cases of narcolepsy or cataplexy have been reported. The diagnoses for seven of these patients are still in process. Cataplexy is a severe muscle weakness that can lead to a complete collapse up to 20-30 times a day. The THL has received 900 complaints regarding the Pandemrix vaccine by Wednesday. Of these, 182 have been classified as serious. Serious cases are those that demand hospital treatment, are life-threatening or could lead to death. The classification for those cases may yet change, since some patient data is missing. |
