Case Report on Acute Hemorrhagic Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) Following Parvovirus B19 Infection in an Immunocompetent Child

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare, immune-mediated demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system, often triggered by viral infections. Parvovirus B19 has been implicated in various haematological and neurological manifestations; however, its association with acute hemorrhagic ADEM remains rare. Here, we report a case of a 5-year-old male immunocompetent child who developed ADEM following parvovirus B19 infection, emphasising the rarity of such presentations and the importance of early recognition and management.
