Clarifying the Diagnosis of Acute Flaccid Myelitis

The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, 2019
Abstract Acute flaccid myelitis is a serious condition primarily affecting children. It attacks spinal cord gray matter, resulting in lower motor neuron injury and flaccid weakness in the extremities. Although the specific cause of most cases is unknown, viruses, toxins, and genetic disorders have been implicated.

Acute flaccid myelitis: Case report.

MSMR, 2019
In August 2018, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted an increased number of reports of patients in the U.S. having symptoms clinically compatible with acute flaccid myelitis (AFM). AFM is characterized by rapid onset of flaccid weakness in one or more limbs and distinct abnormalities of the spinal cord gray matter on magnetic
