Patient #32 Summary and Discussion Perry Jay Foreman, Ph.D., M.D. Resident, Baylor Neurology Diagnosis: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (presumptive) The differential diagnosis for diffuse white matter involvement in an adult is broad, including various infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic processes. Included within the differential are fungal and mycobacterial disease (excluded by culture data), Lyme disease (essentially excluded by negative titers, the rare occurrence of this condition in this part of the country, and the absence of supportive history), and various unusual infections, such as Brucellosis, etc. (excluded by the absence of fever, culture data, and clinical story). CNS lymphoma may present with multifocal white matter involvement, but is unusual in the non-immunocompromised individual (CNS lymphoma typically occurs in a localized region in this population). Metastatic cancers would not have the MRI appearance suggestive of demyelination and would not present with the CSF findings in this case (unless the patient developed meningeal carcinomatosis). The most likely possibility, then, is an inflammatory process affecting the neuraxis at several points (spinal cord, brainstem, and subcortical white matter). The differential diagnosis would then include CNS involvement from systemic lupus erythematosis (or other collagen vascular diseases), CNS vasculitis, sarcoidosis, or inflammatory demyelination following infection (post-infectious demyelinating encephalomyelitis) or associated with multiple sclerosis. The lack of historical or laboratory support for SLE, sarcoid, or other collagen vascular diseases essentially excludes these from consideration. The vigorous inflammatory response would be highly unusual for a CNS vasculitis, leaving the most likely possibility of primary CNS inflammation/demyelination.

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), and the related experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, are diseases of the brain and spinal cord, similar in many respects to MS, which are induced in laboratory animals. Animals with EAE serve as animal models for MS, allowing experimentation that would be impossible and unethical in humans who have the disease. Like MS, EAE is a demyelinating disease—it destroys the myelin, the fatty sheath that protects and surrounds nerve fibers. EAE can be induced in rats, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, and monkeys. Like MS, it takes several clinical forms, including relapsing-remitting and progressive-relapsing. EAE is induced in strains of lab animals that are susceptible to the disease by injecting myelin or specific myelin proteins in combination with an immune-exciting agent, called an adjuvent. Animal Studies Yield Important Information About MS Much of our current knowledge about the disease damage (pathology) and immune responses underlying MS has been gained from studies of animals with EAE. Information derived from microscopic and biochemical examination of the brain, blood, and spinal cord of animals with EAE includes:

Welcome to the new- look website of ANZMES. This site is still being upgraded, so you may find some pages unfinished. These will be finished shortly. ANZMES is the Associated New Zealand ME Society. It exists to serve existing members, assist those who are newly diagnosed, as well as help those who may only suspect they are suffers. ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy) is a debilitating disease that can affect anyone. In New Zealand, it is estimated that there are around 20,000 sufferers. Medical definitions of the condition vary, but the following elements are considered common: ongoing flu-like fatigue slow recovery from exercise muscle aches impaired concentration ('brain-fog') sore throats swollen glands gastrointestinal problems (IBS) sleep disorders low (or high) body temperature ANZMES undertakes a wide range of functions for members including: support national and local advocacy quarterly newsletter support of research a wide range of publications There is a network of support groups throughout New Zealand, and ANZMES is the national body. We believe that both local support and national coordination is necessary. On this website, you will find a range of useful information for suffers, caregivers, friends and medical professionals. It is an evolving site however, so please visit again. If you have a suggestion to make please contact one of the people on the
