Health officials have still been unable to find definitive answers to the cause and treatment for acute transverse myelitis (ATM)— paralytic condition associated with inflammation in the spinal cord. Historically, the first ATM cases were described in 1882, but the term “acute transverse myelitis” was not used until 1948.1 Now, the estimated incidence is approximately 1,400 […]

In the early 1900s, infectious diseases were the leading cause of death in the United States. Tuberculosis, pneumonia and diarrheal disease caused 30 percent of the deaths.
