FIRE-EARTH Report: Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM)

Summary Background:

Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) affects the nervous system, specifically the area of spinal cord called gray matter, causing the muscles and reflexes in the body to become weak. Increases in cases  starting 2014 is unprecedented. Possible causes of AFM include viruses, environmental toxins, and genetic disorders. Most of the cases reported to CDC have been in  children. [CDC]

“[In the US,] the increase in AFM cases in 2014 coincided with a national outbreak of severe respiratory illness among people caused by enterovirus D68 (EV-D68). Among the people confirmed with AFM, CDC did not consistently detect EV-D68 in every patient,” said the CDC.

Health officials in 26 states have told NBC News they are investigating or have reported 87 cases of AFM so far this year.
