Editor, Senior Moderator
Montpellier, France-The results of a sub-analysis of the case-control study NarcoFlu-VF confirm the link between mass vaccination against the influenza A (H1N1) which took place in late 2009 in France and several cases of narcolepsy-cataplexy (1)).

Just a year ago, The national security agency in the medication (ANSM) reported the results of two studies on the subject: the European study VAESCO (Vaccine Adverse Event Surveillance * Communication) and preliminary data from the study NarcoFlu-VF, conducted in France only (2)).

The French data of the study VAESCO highlighted an increase in the risk of narcolepsy in adults. And, those of the study NarcoFlu-VF, a significant association both for adults and for children and adolescents.


The results of a new sub-analysis of the study NarcoFlu-VF confirm this association, with an increased risk of narcolepsy with cataplexy.




The results are published in the journal Brain of the month of August.
