Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is characterized by a brief but widespread attack of inflammation in the brain and spinal cord that damages myelin - the protective covering of nerve fibers.
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADE) is a neurological disorder involving inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare neurological disorder. It affects children more than adults, but can affect anyone.
What are the symptoms of ADEM?
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of brain inflammation. It is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS).
Mosquito-borne encephalitis/encephalomyelitis refer to viral diseases that are transmitted by mosquitoes. The term encephalitis refers to an inflammation of the brain; encephalomyelitis refers to an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.
Until the late 1980s, myalgic encephalomyelitis was thought to be a distinct, infectious disorder affecting the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems and the muscles.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and post-viral fatigue syndrome. There is some difference of opinion over whether ME is different from CFS; however, most authorities refer to the condition as CFS/ME.
We don’t know why people get chronic fatigue syndrome (myalgic encephalomyelitis) (CFS/ME), but it happens every day.
One of the problems reported by many CFS/ME sufferers is the lack of specific guidance on how to tackle the condition.

doctors diagnose and treat more than 2,500 adults and children who have MS and other central nervous system disorders including optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, neuromyelitis optica (Devic's disease) and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), also called noninfectious encephalitis, constitutes one-third of all known cases of encephalitis.
In other countries it is known variously as myalgic encephalomyelitis, chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome, and postviral fatigue syndrome. It was first recognized as a syndrome in the 1860s by Dr.
Today, CFS also is known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), postviral fatigue syndrome, and chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS). It is important to note, however, that the word "fatigue" is extremely misleading.
Treatment for Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
ADEM is usually treated with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone, a powerful anti-inflammatory drug known as a corticosteroid.
In humans, however, B virus infection can result in a fatal encephalomyelitis. B virus disease in humans is extremely rare, but often fatal -- an estimated 80% of untreated patients die of complications associated with the infection.
