“…Although etiology and pathogenesis of NMOSD are known, it is considered that interaction between genetic and environmental factors play role in development of the disease [12]. Mycoplasma pneumonia, EBV, CMV, rhinovirus, and measles virus have all been shown to be involved in post-infectious acute myelitis [13][14][15]. Furthermore in a study on NMOSD, Sellner et al emphasized that it shows monophasic presentation at high rate (88%) and has a poor prognosis (complete recovery in only 25% of the patients) [16].…”

“…After removal of duplicates and initial screening, 500 were reviewed and assessed for eligibility. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 99 articles were included in this study (55 case reports/series, 1,4–7,9–57 33 retrospective cohort studies, 2,3,58–88 seven cross-sectional studies, 89–95 and four case-control studies 96–99 ) (Fig. 1).…”

cute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a polio-like illness in children that causes inflammation of the spinal cord gray matter. AFM is characterized by a viral prodrome that is followed by mild to severe weakness in one to four limbs that can be persistent even after conservative management. 1 Almost one-third of patients admitted to the hospital require intubation because of weakness of respiratory muscles or bulbar muscle weakness. 2 AFM was initially recognized after the first major outbreak in the United States in 2014.

“…Quite antithetical to how SARS-CoV-2 affects PNS (mostly in the form of GBS) [29] Concerning the prognosis, most of the patients came up with a complete disease resolution and the mortality rate was low (<10%). Noteworthy, microbes including Mycobacterial pneumoniae, Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), rhinovirus, and measles are implicated in post infectious acute myelitis [31][32][33]. Reports have already suggested severe cytokine storm with significant elevation of IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma cytokines, and depletion of CD8 + T c cells and NK cells; i.e.…”

Background and aims- Recent reports reveal incidences of spinal cord involvement in form of para-infectious or post-infectious myelitis raising potential concerns about the possibilities of SARS-CoV-2 behind the pathogenesis of spinal cord demyelination. In this study, we intend to summarise so far available pieces of evidence documenting SARS-CoV-2 mediated spinal demyelination in terms of clinical, laboratory parameters and imaging characteristics. Methodology- This review was carried out based on the existing PRISMA (Preferred Report for Systemic Review and Meta-analyses) consensus statement. Data was collected from four databases: Pubmed/Medline, NIH Litcovid, Embase and Cochrane library and Preprint servers up till 10th September, 2020. Search strategy comprised of a range of keywords from relevant medical subject headings which includes "SARS-COV-2", "COVID-19", "demyelination" etc. Results- A total of 21 cases were included from 21 case reports after screening from various databases and preprint servers. Biochemical analysis reveals that the majority of cases showed elevated CSF protein as well as lymphocytic pleocytosis. Interestingly, a majority of cases were found to be associated with long extensive transverse myelitis (LETM), and remaining cases were found to be associated with isolated patchy involvement or isolated short segment involvement or combined LETM and patchy involvement. Few cases were also found with significant co-involvement of the brain and spine based on the imaging data. Conclusion- It can be interpreted that SARS-CoV-2 may play a potential role in spinal demyelinating disorders in both para-infectious and post-infectious forms.
