Ini saya kirimkan article yg mengatakan autisme dan MMR tidak ada hubungannya. > by Nina Louie > A new study published in the March 7 issue of the Journal of the American > Medical Association bolsters evidence that the MMR vaccine - which > protects children against measles, mumps, and rubella - does not cause > autism, a rare developmental disorder that hampers communication, social > interaction, and behavior. The possibility of a link between the vaccine > and autism has been a source of considerable debate for the last few years > because the illness is often diagnosed at around the same time the vaccine > is given. > In this latest study, researchers from the California Department of Health > Services in Berkeley studied the rates of immunization among children born > between 1980 and 1994 who enrolled in California kindergartens (about 600 > to 1,900 kids per year). They also looked at the number of autism cases > that were reported to the California Department of Developmental Services > during this time. While the number of children with autism increased by > 373 percent (to 208 children out of every 100,000) during these years, the > number of kids who received the vaccine rose by only 14 percent. > Researchers say this proves there is no correlation between the recent > surge in cases of the disease and the vaccine. > The authors of another recent study suggest that the rise in the number of > children diagnosed with autism may be due to a greater awareness of the > disease among parents and doctors, to new diagnostic methods, or to > unknown environmental factors that may cause it. > What you can do > Talk to your pediatrician if you have concerns about the MMR vaccine.
