   http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/acute_encephalomyelitis.ht
   
   Extractions: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADE) is a neurological disorder characterized by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord caused by damage to the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is the fatty covering, which acts as an insulator, on nerve fibers in the brain. ADE may occur in association with a viral or bacterial infection, as a complication of inoculation or vaccination, or without a preceding cause. Onset of the disorder is sudden. Symptoms, which vary among individuals, may include headache, delirium, lethargy, coma, seizures, stiff neck, fever, ataxia, optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, vomiting, and weight loss. Other symptoms may include monoparesis (paralysis of a single limb) or hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body). The disorder occurs in children more often than in adults.

   Extractions: Los Angeles County West Vector Control District Western Equine Encephalomyelitis Western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic infection, primarily involving wild birds and Culex tarsalis , that can produce acute central nervous system (CNS) disease in infected horses and humans. WEE is transmitted, primarily by Cx. tarsalis to a variety of avian and mammalian hosts. People and horses are dead-end hosts for the virus, in that the concentration of virus particles circulating in the blood stream of humans and horses is too low to infect a blood feeding mosquito. Symptoms of infection appear 7 to 21 days after a bite from an infected mosquito. The disease is most severe in infants and small children and can result in permanent brain damage or death. Symptoms range from mild to severe and may include only fever and headache to encephalitis with delirium, disorientation or coma. Passerine birds, primarily house sparrows and house finches, are highly preferred hosts of Cx. tarsalis

    Extractions: HISTORY In the spring and summer of 1975, there was a major, severe epidemic of a communical, apparent viral disease at the Mercy San Juan Hospital in Carmicheal, a suburb of Sacramento, California. It occurred in February, and the bulk of the disease happened between July and November of 1975. Cases continued to occur, although few, until 1978 The epidemic involved all departments of the hospital. It was equally severe in all departments. I was appointed chairmen of a committee to investigate the outbreak. At the time, I feared that there might be fatalities and so Asked that the CDC (Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Georgia) become involved. An epidemiologist fro there spent a week at the hospital. Another epidemiologist from the State came for the day. Cultures were obtained for all known viruses, bacteria, and rickettsiae, and all were negative. The disease was apparently due to a new agent of disease. At the time, we did a literature search and found three reports of outbreaks that were called EPIDERMIC PHLEBODYNIA (meaning painful veins). While the disease at Mercy San Juan was somewhat similar, it included many more features that were subscribed in epidermic phlebodynia and so at the time, I believed it was not the same disease. Later , additional literature search showed that the disease was very similar to epidermic neuromyasthenia/ myalgic encephalomyelitis. But toublingly, very few if any, vascular features were mentioned.

    Extractions: A CALL FOR ACTION: THE RECOGNITION OF MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS AS A SERIOUS AND DEBILITATING DISEASE View Current Signatures Sign the Petition To: United States Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, and Centers for Disease Control We, the undersigned, respectfully demand that Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), an internationally recognized neurological disease, be also formally recognized as a distinct clinical entity in the United States by the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control. It is time to make the case definition/diagnostic criteria explicit in the name. Currently, most patients are diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a poorly defined, misunderstood, controversial syndrome which remains underfunded and underresearched. The name Chronic Fatigue Syndrome itself has trivialized the illness and further subjected these patients to incredulity and ridicule. The CFS rubric has not only neglected and failed to help those with ME, it has harmed them. ME patients will not improve with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or graded exercise (in fact, exercise will make them worse) - yet these are considered treatments for CFS. Simply "renaming" CFS will not solve this problem. ME should not be considered a subset of CFS, for the hallmarks of ME will not be present in the population of CFS patients once the Ramsay criteria are established in the US. Patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis under the CFS criteria must wait for six (6) months before acquiring a diagnosis, a critical period in which possible recovery is diminished by lack of proper treatment. The ME definition does not require a six month wait. (See Ramsay Definition at: http://www.egroups.co.uk/message/ME-itis_NOW/2.)

    Extractions: MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS Updated: Tuesday, October 5, 1999 Recent discussions at the Brussels conference and elsewhere have helped to clarify that myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.) and CFS are not the same entity. There has been confusion about this, even in Britain where M.E. was first defined and studied under that name. What exactly is M.E.? According to M.E. experts the key difference between M.E. and chronic fatigue syndrome is that M.E. requires the criterion of easy fatiguability following minimal exertion and a delay in recovery of muscle strength. M.E. has been described several times in medical literature. It was first defined in an editorial published in the Lancet in 1956 which discussed several epidemic outbreaks of prior years. This first description was rather loose and was not very specific. In later years Ramsay, EG Dowsett and others refined the definition of M.E. in various published papers. After Ramsay died in 1990, Dowsett et al. wrote the latest version of the M.E. definition now known as the "London criteria". These have been used in recent papers by Costa (Brainstem perfusion is impaired in patients with CFS, QJM 1995; 88:767-773) and Scholey (A comparison of the cognitive deficits seen in M.E. to Alzheimer's Disease, Proceedings of the British Psychological Society, 1999, January, 12).

    Extractions: Multiple Chemical Sensitivity- Heightened Senses Network is an online chemical injury support group and forum for those who have been chemically injured and suffer from any of the following chemically related illnesses: Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), Environmental Illness, Sick Building Syndrome, Toxic Injury, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Gulf War Syndrome among many other forms of chemical injury. MCS is a disorder triggered by exposures to chemicals in the environment. Individuals with MCS can have symptoms from chemical exposures at concentrations far below the levels tolerated by most people. Symptoms typically occur in more than one area in the body, such as the nervous system and the lungs. Exposure may be from the air, from food or water, or through skin contact. The symptoms may come and go with exposures, though some individuals may have delayed reactions. As MCS gets worse, reactions become more severe and increasingly chronic, often significantly affecting bodily functions. (Envionmental Illness Society of Canada)
