Episode 15 - Mystery Brain Disease in New Brunswick, Canada?
Manage episode 415170595 series 3547902
In January of 2019, patients were told they had a new or novel brain disease. This occurred in a cluster of individuals exhibiting "similar" signs and symptoms in the eastern province of New Brunswick, Canada. The symptoms fell under the umbrella of dementia and prion disease but were tested and determined not to be either. Was this a new brain disease or was something else to blame? And why was the investigation shut down so abruptly?
