Nerve disease alert over flu jab
Last Updated: Sunday, 16 August 2009, 06:18 GMT- Search: nerve disease flu

Doctors have been put on alert for cases of a nerve disease following the introduction of a vaccine for swine flu, it has emerged.
Health chiefs said there was an increased risk of developing Guillain-Barre syndrome after a flu-like illness, but stressed there was no evidence linking it to the vaccination.
The syndrome, which affects about 1,500 people a year in the UK, attacks the nervous system and can result in temporary paralysis.
Its exact cause is unclear but many people affected by it have had a viral or bacterial infection a few weeks earlier.
