Abstract

Acute flaccid myelitis is a serious condition primarily affecting children. It attacks spinal cord gray matter, resulting in lower motor neuron injury and flaccid weakness in the extremities. Although the specific cause of most cases is unknown, viruses, toxins, and genetic disorders have been implicated. Preventing the spread of viral infections is crucial to preventing the spread of this potentially disabling disease. If acute flaccid myelitis is suspected, nurse practitioners must act quickly with the assistance of local or state health departments in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to implement evidence-based interventions for the patient.
