The cause of myelitis is unknown, and is currently thought to be mainly related to infection, vaccination, autoimmunity and other factors.
1. Infection: Infection can induce the occurrence of myelitis and cause post-infectious myelitis. Most patients may have fever, upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea and other symptoms of viral infection 1~4 weeks before the appearance of spinal cord symptoms.
2. Vaccination: part of the body’s immune function can be abnormal due to vaccination, which can lead to osteomyelitis.
3. Autoimmune factors: in some patients, pathogens such as viruses are not isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid and spinal cord, and their occurrence may be related to autoimmune reactions.
It is recommended that patients found with myelitis should seek medical treatment in time and under the guidance of the doctor, so as not to delay the condition.
