Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor .ADAM is a desalinating disease of central nervous system characterized by abrupt onset of neurological system preceded by infection. The goal of treatment in ADAM is to arrest the CNS inflammation as soon as possible. High dose corticosteroid are the first line of treatment, however plasmapheresis and iv immunoglobulin are used in cases where there is contraindication or resistance to steroid or in cases of treatment failure.
