A Case-Control Study of Mercury Burden in Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders Doctor's Data: Partnering in Research In this study, evaluations of mercury excretion levels among children with autistic spectrum disorders in comparison to a matched control population based upon a three-day treatment with an oral chelating agent, meso-2,3-dimercaptospectrum disorders in comparison to The overall results of this analysis showed that there were statistically significantly increased urinary mercury concentrations (Relative Increase (RI)=3.15; p,0.0002) among 221 cases of children with autistic spectrum disorders in comparison to 18 normal controls. Additionally, vaccinated cases matched to vaccinated controls also showed a statistically significant (RI=3.76; p < 0.005) relationship between autistic spectrum disorders and elevated urinary mercury concentrations. Similar urinary mercury concentrations were observed among matched vaccinated and unvaccinated controls, and no association was found between urinary cadmium or lead levels and autistic spectrum disorders among the children examined in this study. The mercury measured in this study is compatible with exposure to mercury in childhood vaccines, while the contribution of thimerosal in Rho-D immune globulin and other potential environmental sources of mercury exposure, both acute and chronic, may be contributory. Analysis of post- DMSA urinary Mercury excretion found a strong, statistically significant association between greatly increased urinary mercury concentrations and the presence of autistic spectrum disorders in vaccinated children.
