Causes and Development of MyelitisMyelitis is a serious neurological disease that occurs mainly due to factors such as infection, injury, or autoimmune reactions to the spinal cord. Understanding the causes of myelitis is important to prevent and ** the disease.
Infectious myelitisInfectious myelitis is caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Common pathogenic microorganisms include epidemic **, vesicles, shingles, gonorrhoeae, etc. These pathogenic microorganisms invade the nerve tissue through the bloodstream or directly, causing infectious changes in the spinal cord. Infectious myelitis usually causes severe damage to nerve tissue, leading to limb weakness, movement disorders, and other nerve abnormalities.
Traumatic spinal cord injuryTraumatic spinal cord injury refers to spinal cord injury caused by external forces such as car accidents, falls, sports accidents, etc. When the external force exceeds the range that the human tissues can bear, it can cause conditions such as herniated discs, compression or rupture of the vertebral body, which can cause direct damage to nearby nerve structures. This damage may lead to local bleeding, edema, and other changes that can eventually lead to concurrent myelitis.
