Discontinued 80s drug associated with uncommon Alzheimer’s cases. | |
Back in the mid-1980s, a peculiar medical treatment that was discontinued may have links to some exceptionally rare cases of Alzheimer’s, according to researchers at University College London. The treatment in question involved injections of human growth hormone derived from deceased donors. While there is no suggestion that Alzheimer’s is contagious in daily life, the study suggests that it might be inadvertently transmitted through specific medical procedures. The research focuses on five cases where individuals were treated with cadaver-derived human growth hormone (c-hGH) as children. The c-hGH was contaminated with brain proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease. This treatment was administered to at least 1,848 people in the UK between 1959 and 1985. It was halted when experts discovered that certain batches were tainted with a different type of infectious protein causing Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a rare and fatal brain condition.
