But the head of the clinic, Michael Zimpfer, said there "was no evidence of poison" and that, while new medical analyses had been ordered from laboratories in the United States and Europe, "so far there is no proof" of poisoning.
"Poisoning without evidence is a bit like a murder without a body," he added.
Zimpfer said that while anything was possible, nothing had been established beyond doubt.
"Until now we have only undertaken a descriptive diagnosis," he added, and the symptoms "do not correspond to the clinical image of an illness."
Austrian doctors who treated Yushchenko for unusual symptoms in September said they were working on three theories "related" to possible poisoning but admitted they had no evidence.
That's good because it certainly doesn't appear to correspond to any known medical illness.
Jellybean I am a little confused. Do you interpret this to say that he was not poisoned?
Because that is NOT what the article says.
Thanks for the heads up.
His symptoms don't sound exactly like dioxin poisoning to me. I really hope these doctors can find out what has happened soon, and that it is treatable. If it IS dioxin, the poor guy's stuck with these symptoms for a long time.
