Extractions: Western Equine Encephalomyelitis Western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic infection, primarily involving wild birds and Culex tarsalis , that can produce acute central nervous system (CNS) disease in infected horses and humans. WEE is transmitted, primarily by Cx. tarsalis to a variety of avian and mammalian hosts. People and horses are dead-end hosts for the virus, in that the concentration of virus particles circulating in the blood stream of humans and horses is too low to infect a blood feeding mosquito. Symptoms of infection appear 7 to 21 days after a bite from an infected mosquito. The disease is most severe in infants and small children and can result in permanent brain damage or death. Symptoms range from mild to severe and may include only fever and headache to encephalitis with delirium, disorientation or coma. Passerine birds, primarily house sparrows and house finches, are highly preferred hosts of Cx. tarsalis

Extractions: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome This site was created in response to the continued marginalization of people suffering from (Benign) Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome , Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalopathy There are other terms that are used in conjunction with this collation of symptoms describing ME , Post-viral Fatigue Syndrome, Post Polio Syndrome and the list goes on. All of these terms have validity in their origins but only Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is classified internationally by the World Health Organization, the chronic fatigue series are little more than pseudonym's are are recorded so, Neurology chapter G93.3 . It should be noted that fatigue syndrome (not Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) is in category F48, Neurasthenia and note that post-viral fatigue syndrome is explicitly excluded from F48.0. The point being that ME is a Neurological disorder and should be treated as such. The belittling term chronic fatigue syndrome arrived courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), primarily for the purpose of enabling further research; that was the

Extractions: MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS Updated: Tuesday, October 5, 1999 Recent discussions at the Brussels conference and elsewhere have helped to clarify that myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.) and CFS are not the same entity. There has been confusion about this, even in Britain where M.E. was first defined and studied under that name. What exactly is M.E.? According to M.E. experts the key difference between M.E. and chronic fatigue syndrome is that M.E. requires the criterion of easy fatiguability following minimal exertion and a delay in recovery of muscle strength. M.E. has been described several times in medical literature. It was first defined in an editorial published in the Lancet in 1956 which discussed several epidemic outbreaks of prior years. This first description was rather loose and was not very specific. In later years Ramsay, EG Dowsett and others refined the definition of M.E. in various published papers. After Ramsay died in 1990, Dowsett et al. wrote the latest version of the M.E. definition now known as the "London criteria". These have been used in recent papers by Costa (Brainstem perfusion is impaired in patients with CFS, QJM 1995; 88:767-773) and Scholey (A comparison of the cognitive deficits seen in M.E. to Alzheimer's Disease, Proceedings of the British Psychological Society, 1999, January, 12).

Extractions: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADE) is a neurological disorder characterized by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord caused by damage to the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is the fatty covering, which acts as an insulator, on nerve fibers in the brain. ADE may occur in association with a viral or bacterial infection, as a complication of inoculation or vaccination, or without a preceding cause. Onset of the disorder is sudden. Symptoms, which vary among individuals, may include headache, delirium, lethargy, coma, seizures, stiff neck, fever, ataxia, optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, vomiting, and weight loss. Other symptoms may include monoparesis (paralysis of a single limb) or hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body). The disorder occurs in children more often than in adults.
