Can ADEM be Triggered by a Vaccine?

Yes. Although rare, vaccination sometimes triggers acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, also known as ADEM. However, doctors often first diagnose ADEM as a severe first attack of multiple sclerosis (MS). This is because some of the symptoms of the two disorders, particularly those caused by demyelination, overlap.

ADEM usually shows symptoms of encephalitis (fever, coma), and symptoms of myelin damage (vision loss, paralysis).  Multiple Sclerosis usually does not show encephalitis-like symptoms.  ADEM usually consists of a single episode or attack, while MS features many attacks over the course of time.  Similar to ADEM, MS can also be triggered by vaccination.

Prognosis of ADEM Triggered by Vaccination

Corticosteroid therapy typically shortens the duration of neurological symptoms of ADEM, while also halting further progression of the disease in the short term.  The long-term prognosis varies significantly.  Studies show that half of all ADEM patients will eventually completely recover. Unfortunately, that means the other half will not.  Of those, the prognoses vary greatly.

My experience with mctlaw for my hip claim was remarkable, I found the communication to be outstanding. I also felt they did an excellent job setting expectations and then delivering on those stated expectations. From net amount, timing of the settlement, how much each related party would receive etc. they were outstanding. I would highly recommend them. They are very professional and set the bar in vaccine injury practice.

We cannot thank you enough for the services your firm has provided for Marie and I in our time of need. I could not have chosen a finer firm near or far to represent us.

My first response is “Wow!” It has only been 11 months since I first heard of “SIRVA” and an HHS program that awarded compensation to its victims and only 7 months since MC&T accepted my case. I feel that your efforts on my part made all the difference.

Thanks to you I am living comfortably in my own home with assistance. After my devastating GBS diagnosis from the flu vaccine six years ago, I didn’t know what to do. Thank goodness I found you and your law firm. Thank you so much!
