下文谈到常用抗生素Augmentin TM与自闭症的可能关系。 文中提及的amoxicillin,我估计就是“阿莫仙”或叫“阿莫西林”,这是宝宝6个月前就用的药。只要感冒医生就开,也是最常用的药。Augmentin TM我不知是什么。请是医生的家长给予大家一点信息。

Yonkers, NY (PRWEB) January 5, 2005 -- In a study released this week,
the antibiotic Augmentin TM has been implicated in the formation of autism.
The study strongly suggests the possibility of ammonia poisoning as a result
of young children taking Augmentin. Augmentin has been given to children
since the late 1980's for bacterial infections. Composed of amoxicillin and
clavulanate potassium, Augmentin has proven a potent antibacterial,
especially for ear infections which quickly become resistant to amoxicillin
alone.
The manufacture of AugmentinTM involves the fermentation of clavulanic
acid. The fermentation process involves large amounts of urea/ammonia.
Ingested ammonia can potentially injure the intestines of small children as
well as brain and nervous tissue. Even a small residue of urea/ammonia can
potentially induce a substantial brain inflammation or abnormality.
The study, published in Medical Hypotheses, (2005 64, 312-315)
examines 206 children under the age of 3 diagnosed with autism. These
children were found to have a significantly higher number of ear infections
than the general pediatric population. These same children received, on
average, 12 courses of antibiotics representing a sum total number of 2480.
Of the 2480, 893 of these courses were Augmentin with 362 of those given
under the age of 1 year.
Dr. Joan Fallon, scientist, autism researcher and author of the study,
states that, "Augmentin is one of the most widely prescribed drugs for
children. Its introduction into the marketplace for use in the treatment of
childhood illnesses corresponds with the significant increase in the
incidence of autism. It is possible that some children, especially those
with immaturity, or others at risk for developmental disorders can be
injured by taking this drug. It is imperative that further research be
undertaken to determine if a subset of children are at risk for
neurotoxicity due to the use of clavulanate or clavulanic acid in
pharmaceutical preparations - especially Augmentin."
