- Progressive inflammatory neuropathy (PIN) is a disease that was identified in a report, released on January 31, 2008, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The first known outbreak of this neuropathy occurred in southeastern Minnesota in the United States. The disease was reported among pig slaughterhouse workers who appeared at various care facilities in the area reporting similar neurological symptoms. The disease was later identified at pork processing plants in Indiana and Nebraska as well. The condition is characterized by acute paralysis, pain, fatigue, numbness, and weakness, especially in extremities. It was initially believed that workers might have contracted the disease through inhaling aerosols from pig brains blown through a compressed-air hose and that this exposure to pig neural tissue induced an auto-immune response that might have produced their mysterious peripheral neuropathy. These suspicions were confirmed in reports and investigations conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
- Progressieve inflammatoire neuropathie (PIN) is een auto-immuunziekte die voor het eerst officieel werd vermeld in een rapport van het Amerikaanse Center for Disease Control in januari 2008 De eerste bekende uitbraak van deze ziekte was in het zuidoosten van Minnesota in de Verenigde Staten. De ziekte werd gemeld onder medewerkers van een slachthuis voor varkens. Men vermoedt dat deze werknemers de ziekte mogelijk hebben opgelopen door inademing van aerosolen van varkenshersenen. Door inademing van de herseneiwitten krijgen deze patiënten een auto-immuun-gemedieerde perifere neuropathie.
