AIM: We report the epidemiology, treatment and outcomes of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), including the first two cases of enterovirus (EV) D68 myelitis, in Singapore. METHODS: Retrospective observational study from a paediatric hospital in Singapore, from January 2012 to December 2022. Clinical, laboratory, neuroimaging and outcome data were analysed. RESULTS: Eight patients were identified (all male). Median age at presentation was 3 (interquartile range (IQR) 2.2-10.0) years. Seven (87.5%) patients were clustered in two time periods (July 2018-January 2019 and April-August 2022). Presenting features were a preceding febrile respiratory illness (n = 6) or hand-foot-and-mouth disease (n = 2), upper limb weakness (n = 5, 62.5%) and neurogenic bladder (3, 37.5%), while the spinal cord lesions were predominantly in the cervical region (7, 87.5%). Five (62.5%) and six (75.0%) patients had elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) white cells (median 7.5/mm CONCLUSION: Disability risk in AFM is high despite aggressive immunotherapy. We report the first two confirmed cases of EV D68 AFM in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
