Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is about 1 in 125,000-250,000 people each year, in children younger than 10 years, despite the fact that it is a rare disorder.[1][2]
- Each year, regional medical centers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia see three to six instances.[3]
Prevalence
- The prevalance of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis rises as one moves further away from the Equator.[4]Closing

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- Although acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is potentially lethal, the mortality rate is none to low, but few studies found that mortality was around 3%.[5][6][7][8]
Age
- The usual age of onset is 3 to 7 years, few cases been reported between 10 and twenty.
Gender
- Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis affects males more likely than females (male to female ratio of 1.3:1), and it happens more frequently in the winter and spring.
Race
- There is no racial predilection to the development of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and affects people all over the world.[9]
Region
- It affects people all over the world, comparable to the geographic distribution of multiple sclerosis.
