Treatment of Post-Influenza Vaccination Induced Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) with Plasma Exchange - A Case Report (P4.036)
DISCUSSION:Influenza vaccination has been rarely linked to ADEM. Due to a low-incidence of the disease, there are no established treatment guidelines. Our patient did not respond to steroids but showed marked radiographic improvement with PE. PE should be considered for refractory ADEM after influenza vaccination.Disclosure: Dr. Chahil has nothing to disclose. Dr. Pillainayagam has nothing to disclose. Dr. Schulz has nothing to disclose.
