Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis after Plasmodium vivax infection: case report and review of literature
Keyword(s):
Acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis (ADEM) usually occurs after viral infections or vaccination. Its occurrence after <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> infection is extremely uncommon. We report the case of an 8-year-old girl who had choreo-athetoid movements and ataxia after recovery from <em>P.vivax</em> infection. Diagnosis of ADEM was made on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging findings. The child responded to corticosteroids with complete neurological recovery.
