Preferred Label : leukoencephalitis, acute hemorrhagic;
MeSH definition : A fulminant and often fatal demyelinating disease of the brain which primarily affects
young adults and children. Clinical features include the rapid onset of weakness,
SEIZURES, and COMA. It may follow a viral illness or MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE infections
but in most instances there is no precipitating event. Pathologic examination reveals
marked perivascular demyelination and necrosis of white matter with microhemorrhages.
