- Abstract
The article focuses on the notification to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) regarding the six children hospitalized in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region with symptoms consistent with acute flaccid myelitis (AFM). The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) confirmed all the six cases of AFM, an acute onset of flaccid limb weakness with magnetic resonance image indicating spinal cord lesions largely restricted to gray matter and spanning one or more vertebral segments.
