Infection - Inflammation: Calor, Dolor, Rubor, Tumor for the 21st century Neurologist. Installment: #4.

Publication Date: Feb 16, 2007.

Show Notes: Prions - the creepy culprits causing Mad Cow Disease in England, and Kuru in Papua New Guinea cannibals. Thanks to contaminated blood products from silent carrier-donors, they are back in the news. Given the possible 30-year incubation time frame for prions, there may be reason for concern.

And neuroimaging shows fibromyalgia is not just ‘all in the head’ - it’s affecting the peripheral nervous system too.
