Transverse myelitis is a rare disease that causes inflammation on both sides of one section of the spinal cord; often damages the insulating material covering nerve cell fibers (myelin).
The exact incidence and prevalence of acute transverse myelitis in India, particularly in North India, is not known.
June 9th being International Transverse Myelitis Awareness Day, Let’s come together and join hands to raise awareness.
We acknowledge the kind assistance of Ms. Sailakshmi Iyer, MSc. BMG, VIT, Vellore for the Tranverse Myelitis Poster.
