Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a rare but serious condition that affects the nervous system, specifically the spinal cord, which can cause the muscles and reflexes in the body not to work normally. CDC does not yet know the cause of these AFM cases and it is unclear what pathogen or immune response is causing the weakness and paralysis. CDC has not yet determined who is at higher risk for developing AFM, or the reasons why they may be at higher risk. Information about cases is collected from state health departments, in consultation with clinicians, using a national case report form. CDC will use this information to describe the illness, identify etiology, modes of transmission, risk factors, and geographic distribution of the neurologic illness. The data will also help inform the baseline rate of AFM in the United States, which is currently unknown. For this ICR CDC is requesting minor changes to a few questions which will cause a minor burden change.
