Summary
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a CNS disease in children, often triggered by infections or immunizations. Diagnosis relies on clinical, CSF, and MRI findings, with steroid treatment generally leading to favorable outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Pediatrics
- Immunology
Background:
- Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system (CNS).
- It primarily affects children, typically following viral infections or immunizations.
- ADEM presents with acute encephalopathy and multifocal neurological deficits.

Arboviral Encephalitis

Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...

Viral Meningitis
137
Viral meningitis is the most common form of meningitis and is often referred to as aseptic meningitis to indicate the absence of bacterial involvement. It is generally milder than bacterial meningitis, with symptoms including fever, headache, stiff neck, drowsiness, nausea, photophobia, and vomiting. Rarely, more severe manifestations or death may occur. Common causative agents include enteroviruses, particularly coxsackie A and B viruses and echoviruses, all members of the Enterovirus genus...
