Abstract

Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder causing acute spinal cord injury as a result of acute inflammation, often associated with para infectious processes and autoimmune disease. The purpose of this article is to review the literature on the geoepidemiology of transverse myelitis and assess its environmental associations. Articles from 1981 to 2009 were reviewed in Pub Med along with potential causes such as autoimmune disease (focusing on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), and Sjogren's), infection, vaccination, and intoxication.

摘要

横断性脊髓炎是一种神经系统疾病，由于急性炎症导致急性脊髓损伤，常与副感染过程和自身免疫性疾病有关。本文的目的是回顾横断性脊髓炎的地理流行病学文献，并评估其环境相关性。检索了 1981 年至 2009 年在 Pub Med 上发表的文章，以及可能的病因，如自身免疫性疾病（重点是系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）、抗磷脂抗体综合征（APS）和干燥综合征）、感染、疫苗接种和中毒。
