Abstract

20-40% of cases of acute transverse myelitis are attributed to viral infections, although the specific viral etiology is only rarely identified. We have studied one patient with transverse myelitis in association with acute hepatitis B virus infection. Hepatitis virus should be considered as rare cause of transverse myelitis.
