Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is thought to be an infectious disorder affecting the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems and the muscles. Major symptoms may include general exhaustion, headache, muscle pain, weakness, and possible mental changes. The exact cause of this disorder is not known, but researchers believe a virus associated with an immune system abnormality may be responsible. Adults are most commonly affected, with more cases seen in females than in males. Epidemics of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis have occurred worldwide, but cases tend to appear sporadically. Symptoms can resolve in a few weeks but may recur at any time. Other cases may persist for many years.

Notifiable diseases > Equine Viral Encephalomyelitis(EVE) Viral Encephalomyelitis is an infectious mosquito-borne disease of horses characterised clinically by paralysis and other signs of nervous derangement. The same virus strains can cause serious human disease as well as infecting poultry and other farmed birds including quail, ostriches and emus. 1 - Epidemic Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis (VEE) 2 - Western Equine Encephalomyelitis (WEE) 3 - Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis (EEE) Birds, small mammals and possibly reptiles and amphibians are the natural reservoir of the virus. Transmission of infection to horses and man occurs following bites by mosquitoes or biting flies. The disease is not directly contagious between horses and man. The virus strains which cause EVE are restricted geographical areas of North, Central and South America as their names suggest. VEE has spread into Central America, causing devastating epidemics as far north as Texas. The disease distribution is determined by climatic conditions as well as agricultural practices, such as irrigation, which favour the life cycle and spread of mosquitoes. The incubation of the disease after infection with the virus is from 1 to 3 weeks. In the initial stage there is fever, which may be accompanied by depression, and loss of appetite, but the reaction may be so mild it goes unnoticed. The virus causing Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis (EEE) is the most virulent of the three types and the symptoms produced are the most severe, with a case fatality rate of up to 90%. The viraemia (level of virus in the blood) may be so high with this strain that horse to mosquito to horse cycling can occur.

    Extractions: helpful? yes no Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis: ADEM Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) accounts for up to one third of all known cases of encephalitis. This illness usually follows in the wake of exanthema or after other viral infections or immunisations. There is usually a latent period of days to two to three weeks. This illness was first described 250 years ago by the distinguished English physician, Clifton who noted that it occurred occasionally in patients who had smallpox. The white matter of the brain is predominantly affected and under the microscope it can be seen that there is invasion around small veins by white blood cells from the blood. Where these cells accumulate, myelin is destroyed. The illness has been poorly understood and a variety of terminologies used to describe it, these include post infectious, parainfectious or post vaccinial. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is frequently abnormal showing an increase in white cells and protein. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is abnormal in most cases showing diffuse slowing. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) typically shows multiple areas of abnormality in the white matter of the brain.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is a distinctive clinical syndrome first reported in patients after outbreaks of viral infections in 1950s and was characterised by persistent fatigue, muscle pain (myalgia), symptoms suggestive of brain and spinal cord dysfunction (encephalomyelitis) and conspicuous deterioration of symptoms after physical exertion. Pathologically, ME is an inaccurate term since there is little evidence of ongoing inflammatory activity in the muscles or brain. Post-viral fatigue syndrome was used to describe a similar syndrome where patients could clearly trace the onset of their illness back to a viral infection. However, ME-type symptoms are also known to follow other infections (for example, Lyme disease), post-infective neurologic diseases (such as Common symptoms include: Persistent or relapsing fatigue unrelieved by rest or sleep.

    Extractions: National Veterinary Service Laboratory, Ames, Iowa, USA; and U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, Fort Detrick, Maryland, USA A yearling quarter horse, which was raised in southern California, received routine vaccinations for prevention of infection by Eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus (EEEV). One week later, severe neurologic signs developed, and the horse was humanely destroyed. A vaccine-related encephalomyelitis was later suspected. A final diagnosis of EEEV infection was established on the basis of acute onset of the neurologic signs, histopathologic and serologic testing, and isolation and molecular characterization of EEEV from brain tissue The vaccine was extensively tested for viral inactivation. Nucleotide sequences from the vaccine and the virus isolated in the affected horse were also compared. In California, arboviral encephalomyelitides are rarely reported, and EEEV infection has not previously been documented. This report describes the occurrence of EEEV infection in the horse and the investigation to determine the source of infection, which was not definitively identified.

Available from: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol10no4/03-0587.htm We report a case of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) encephalomyelitis in an immunocompetent patient, which was confirmed by viral amplification from cerebrospinal fluid. Cidofovir was used, followed by ganciclovir, because of an adverse effect to probenecid. The patient recovered. HHV-6 should be recognized as one of the causes of encephalomyelitis. Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a member of the Herpesviridae family. Like other members of this family, the virus remains in a latent state after primary infection has resolved and can reactivate. HHV-6 encephalomyelitis is an uncommon clinical manifestation in immuncompetent adults. We report the case of a 20-year-old immunocompetent woman who was hospitalized with HHV-6 encephalomyelitis and recovered.

    Extractions: Equine encephalomyelitis is an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. This disease not only affects horses, but can also be deadly for humans. The virus was isolated, characterized, and equine vaccines were developed in the 1930s. The two forms currently active in the United States are Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis (EEE) and Western Equine Encephalomyelitis (WEE). The viruses responsible for causing these diseases are members of a family of viruses called the alphavirus. WEE is most active in Western United States and parts of the Midwest. EEE has an Eastern United States distribution. Historically, there have been isolated cases in Michigan and Wisconsin as well as outbreaks in the Caribbean, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Panama, and Central and South America.

    Extractions: (PREVIOUSLY TESCHEN DISEASE) Nature of the disease Teschen disease is a viral disease caused by a the highly virulent strain of the virus of of the Picornaviridae family from the Enterovirus genus, serotype 1 (PEV1). The virus causes a virulent manifestation of porcine polioencephalomyelitis with a high morbidity and high mortality. In addition further porcine enteroviruses from the serotype 1 cause porcine polioencephalomyelitis, including Talfan virus and begign enzootic paresis which cause a milder, more sporadic and less contagious disease. There are 11 serotypes of porcine enterovirus potentially causing encephalomyelitis (PEV 1-7 and PEV 11-13) and, recently, they have been grouped under enterovirus encephalomyelitis. Classification OIE List B disease Susceptible species Pigs Distribution Central and Eastern Europe, Madagascar and Uganda have the highly virulent strain of PEV1 (Teschen disease). Talfan disease is more widely distributed, it is present in Australia as well as PEV2, PEV5 and PEV8. Some forms of the disease were suspected in the Cooks Islands and in Wallis and Futuna.
