Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is generally not recurrent, but there is a possibility of recurrence, the specific how often the recurrence is uncertain, there is individual variability.
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is an acute demyelinating disease that involves the white matter of the brain and spinal cord, and is characterized by multifocal, diffuse myelin sheath loss with a monophasic course that rarely recurs.
The pathogenesis of the disease is still unclear, and it is believed that after viral infection or drug administration, certain pathogenic factors change the antigenicity, so that autoantibodies cannot recognize the antigen and produce immune reactions against the myelin sheath, which may manifest as non-specific symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, etc. As the disease progresses, neurological symptoms such as hemiparesis, epilepsy and convulsions gradually appear.
In general, as long as the standardized treatment in a timely manner, basically can be restored to normal, can not recur for a long time, but if the body’s immunity is low, there is still the possibility of recurrence, the specific time recurrence is not certain.
