Overview
Causes
- Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare inflammatory demyelinating multifocal disease of the central nervous system that most commonly affects children after immunization or exanthematous viral infections of respiratory or gastrointestinal tracts and carries a high risk of neurological sequelae if not treated promptly.[1]
- Common causes are cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, herpes simplex virus, human herpes-virus-6, influenza virus, hepatitis A, human immunodeficiency virus, and mycoplasma pneumonia.
- The rabies vaccine was the first vaccine to be linked to acute disseminated encephalomyelitis [2]
