TORONTO The government of New Brunswick has established a committee to oversee an investigation into a mysterious neurological disease that appears to only be affecting residents of the province. The province is tracking 48 potential cases of the neurological disease, and six people have died. New Brunswick Public Health said the first case could date back to 2013, but it wasn t formally identified until early 2020. Symptoms began in 2018, 2019 or 2020 for most cases, the province said. New Brunswick Health Minister Dorothy Shephard said Thursday those 48 people have been identified as experiencing symptoms of the neurological syndrome, but the province isn t considering them to be diagnosed or confirmed cases yet. She said the investigation is ongoing, and the cause of the neurological syndrome remains unknown.
