| Video Discription | Food and environmental exposures ruled out as common factor in cases of neurological syndrome of unknown cause 27 October 2021 FREDERICTON (GNB) – An epidemiological report has found that there is no known exposure in the province that could have triggered the symptoms of a potential neurological syndrome of unknown cause. “Based on the findings of the report, we have learned that New Brunswickers are not at risk from any behaviours, foods or environmental exposures within the province,” said Health Minister Dorothy Shephard. Shephard released the report and its findings today as part of Public Health’s investigation into the cluster of patients who have a potential neurological syndrome of unknown cause. The investigation was to determine whether the condition is an illness of unknown cause, and if so, its potential causes, risk factors and prevention measures. Public Health’s epidemiology and surveillance branch developed an enhanced surveillance questionnaire for the investigation to better understand potential exposures. Thirty-four of the 48 patients in the cluster, or their family members (proxies), participated in the enhanced surveillance interviews. Nine patients declined to participate, and five could not be contacted. Other findings include: a total of 48 patients were identified to have some clinical signs and symptoms that were similar to those associated with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) yet presented atypical characteristics. To date, these patients all tested negative for known forms of human prion diseases, which are a family of rare progressive neurodegenerative disorders. forty-six of the 48 identified patients in the cluster were referred by a single neurologist and the two other cases were referred by two separate neurologists. all of the patients who participated in the enhanced surveillance interviews were referred to the Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance System (CJDSS) by the same neurologist. the potential neurological syndrome appears to be limited to New Brunswick, with no similar cases being referred from other provinces or territories. Clinical and diagnostic information is currently being reviewed by an oversight committee composed of six neurologists to help determine whether there are alternate diagnoses for the patients included in this cluster or whether more investigation is required. “While we have ruled out food and other common exposures, we are still working to determine what took place,” said Shephard. “The role of the oversight committee is to provide a professional second opinion to ensure due diligence and rule out other plausible diagnoses, and they will continue to review all case files, medical charts and records and will re-interview and re-evaluate patients if needed.” The oversight committee is expected to complete its clinical review sometime in early 2022.
