Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is an uncommon acute inflammatory disease of the CNS which occurs following viral infections or vaccination. ADEM is thought to be immune mediated. Brain and spinal cord involvement is usually widespread but may at times be limited to discrete areas such as the optic nerves or a single spinal cord level. Various names have been used to describe this syndrome but the term ADEM is appropriately descriptive.

Erythema multiforme is an immunologic reaction in the skin and mucous membranes often mediated by circulating immune complexes that evolve in response to a number of antigenic stimulae(infections, drugs, connective tissue disease). As the name implies, the skin reaction is characterized by a variety of lesions, namely, erythematous plaques, blisters, and target or bull' s-eye lesions. The mucous membranes of the mouth and eye may also be involved, and this is referred to as Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
