Post-infectious encephalomyelitis: some aetiological mechanisms

P O Behan. Postgrad Med J. 1978 Nov.

Abstract

The possibility that acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and epidemic myalgic encephalomyelitis ('epidemic neuromyasthenia') may share a common pathogenesis is examined and many factors common to the two diseases are described. It is suggested that further study of ADEM may help our understanding of epidemic myalgic encephalomyelitis.
