TY - JOUR AU - Hotterbeekx, An AU - Onzivua, Sylvester AU - Menon, Sonia AU - Colebunders, Robert PY - 2018 TI - Histological examination of post-mortem brains of children with nodding syndrome JF - Annals of Translational Medicine; Vol 6, No 7 (April 13, 2018): Annals of Translational Medicine Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - We read with interest the editorial by Boivin about the aetiology of nodding syndrome (1). In this paper the author mentions that histological examination of postmortem brains of children with nodding syndrome revealed polarizable material which proved difficult to characterize or identify in the majority of specimens (1). We recently performed a post-mortem study on a person with nodding syndrome in Uganda but we did not observe polarized material in the brain. UR - https://atm.amegroups.org/article/view/18537
