Overview
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis can occur after an episode of infection, vaccination or even, spontaneously without an obvious trigger.
Classification
Post-infectious
- The predominant variety, usually with an identifiable trigger [1]
- Viral causes include [[measles], mumps , influenza, herpes viruses, rubella, Hepatitis viruses, HIV[2].
- Bacterial causes include Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Legionella, Campylobacter, Streptococcus[2].
Post-vaccination
- Implicated vaccines are Rabies, DPT, Smallpox, Measles, Japanese encephalitis, Polio, Hepatitis B, Influenza[2].
- Less significant over the years, probably due to changes in the methods of vaccine production [3]
Idiopathic
The absence of a precedent has been reported in up to 26% of cases [4].
