This suggests that a transient agent may be involved in aetiology and – given the narrow age range – that exposure to this agent arose shortly before diagnosis.
In contrast, space-time clustering based on heterogeneous NN thresholds suggests a role for a transient agent that is spread by contact between individuals.
