- Abstract
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a presumed immune-mediated, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Many infections and vaccinations have been reported to be associated with ADEM. In this report, we present a girl with ADEM associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection. She was treated with methylprednisolone and exhibited complete clinical and radiological improvement.
