Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis Following Meningococcal Vaccination: Case Report and Review of the Literature.
A 17-year-old female presentedwith acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), a demyelinating disease ofthe central nervous system, fourweeks after receiving a meningococcalvaccination. The report highlights a rare but known presen- tation following routine vaccination that requires a high degree ofsuspicion in recognition and management. Early initiation of steroid therapy, followed by a steroid taper over one month resulted in a favorable outcome of complete neurological recovery.
期刊介绍:
The Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS) is a federation of eight component county medical associations, with a total membership exceeding 7,000 physicians. CSMS itself is a constituent state entity of the American Medical Association. Founded by the physician-patriots of the American Revolution, the Society operates from a heritage of democratic principles embodied in its Charter and Bylaws. The base of all authority in CSMS is, of course, the individual physician member. It is the decisions of members in their own county associations that ultimately determine the nature of the Society"s policies and activities.
