In the section on epidemiology it says that "PBP is both progressive and slow, with symptoms lasting around 10 to 20 years until it reaches a fatal ending". In the section on symptoms it says that "Death, which is often from pneumonia, usually occurs 1 to 3 years after the start of the disorder." Which is true? As far as I can tell from some rapid research, the latter is true of this disease, not the former. But this is not an area in which I have any expertise. Help anyone?

::I agree that this form of the disorder has a poor prognosis (because of early impairment of swallowing and consequent aspiration compounded by reduced vital capacity). The reference cited in favor of a slow course is from 1900. That statement should be moved to the history section or deleted. I am not sure, however, whether there might be forms of this disorder that never spread beyond the brainstem, which may, indeed, have slower progression.

- Hi WhatamIdoing, I would like to clarify the above. It is too strong to say that such links are not permitted - the page cited above is a guideline (a strong one, admittedly), and not policy, and so an editor may add such links so long as there is a good reason to include it. In this case, I agree that the forum link is unneeded. --Zippy (talk) 08:31, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Some of the most basic information in the article is contradictory
In the section on epidemiology it says that "PBP is both progressive and slow, with symptoms lasting around 10 to 20 years until it reaches a fatal ending". In the section on symptoms it says that "Death, which is often from pneumonia, usually occurs 1 to 3 years after the start of the disorder." Which is true? As far as I can tell from some rapid research, the latter is true of this disease, not the former. But this is not an area in which I have any expertise. Help anyone?
