Enlarging the Spectrum of Inflammatory/Post-Infectious Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis: A Further Case Associated with Neurotoxocariasis
並列摘要
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder with an acute or subacute onset, typically of a monophasic nature, which affects multifocal areas of the central nervous system. ADEM is commonly associated with an antecedent or concomitant infection that is usually viral. However, in the last few years, several published reports have indicated an association between ADEM and bacterial, fungal, or protozoal infections. Here, we present a case of ADEM associated with neurotoxocariasis, which, together with a previously reported case, enlarges the spectrum of inflammatory/post-infectious acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.
