<IMG width="200" vspace="3" hspace="3" align="left" src="http://www.wddty.com/03363800372214568534/autism.jpg" />Up to a third of all cases of autism may be the result of Lyme disease and other chronic infections, new research suggests.  </DIV><BR /><DIV>Researcher Robert Bransfield believes that tick-borne infections, such as Lyme disease, can weaken the immune system during infancy and make the sufferer more vulnerable to autistic-spectrum diseases.</DIV><BR /><DIV>He estimates that between 20 per cent and 30 per cent of all autistic children may be infected by Lyme disease or other similar infections.</DIV><BR /><DIV>If so, it means that 140,000 autistic children in the USA alone have the problem as a direct result of an infection.  If they were treated with high-dose antibiotics – considered to be the most effective therapy, especially in the early stages of infection – the savings in healthcare and education costs would amount to around $358bn, he estimates.</DIV><BR />(Source: Medical Hypotheses, published online: November 5, 2007. doi: 10.1016/j.mehy.2007.09.006).
