Infectious Myelitis

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2023
Myelitis is an extensive group of pathologies, including inflammatory, demyelinating, and infectious disorders, sometimes mimicking tumors. This article will discuss infectious myelitis, mainly the patterns of spinal cord involvement caused by each infectious agent and the contribution of magnetic resonance imaging as a major tool to establish the ...

Infectious Myelitis

Seminars in Neurology, 2019
AbstractMyelitis refers to inflammation of the spinal cord which can result in a spectrum of neurologic impairment. Infectious pathogens are an important etiologic category, and can result in myelitis through direct pathogenic effect or through immune-mediated parainfection; this review focuses on the former category.

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2012
Infections are an uncommon but very important etiology of myelitis as a correct diagnosis would allow for timely treatment and recovery. The term "myelitis" is generally used to describe an inflammatory pathologic process affecting the spinal cord and causing an interruption of the ascending and descending pathways, and, therefore, partial or complete ...

Transverse myelitis

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2012
Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) is an etiologically heterogeneous syndrome with acute or subacute onset, in which inflammation of the spinal cord results in neurologic deficits, manifesting as weakness, sensory loss and autonomic dysfunction. It is frequently associated with infectious or systemic autoimmune diseases, but its etiology remains unknown ...

Myelitis

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2000
Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) with moderate symptomatology and smaller multiple magnetic resonance imaging lesions is often caused by multiple sclerosis. Severe ATM with extensive magnetic resonance imaging lesions with or without associated meningitis often has a viral cause, particularly in the younger age groups, whereas vascular disorders may ...

A tropical myelitis

Neurological Sciences
Spinal cord inflammation is a rare presentation of schistosomiasis infection. The present report describes the case of a young patient presenting subacute medullary symptoms revealing extensive longitudinal myelitis related to schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia. The diagnosis was based on detection of parasite eggs in stool.
