Tysabri gets the blame
Well nutz! I just saw this and confirmed it across many other MS sites.
- New MS drug pulled after patient death
Sales suspended after 2 cases of serious side effects
BOSTON - The makers of Tysabri, a new drug used to treat multiple sclerosis, announced Monday they are voluntarily suspending sales of the drug after one patient died and another developed a serious disease of the central nervous system.

Both patients had taken Tysabri for more than two years in combination with Avonex, the companies said.
