AFM Cases and Outbreaks
As of June 5, 2020, there have been 9 confirmed cases in 2020. There are 29 reports of patients under investigation (PUIs) for 2020. One patient with confirmed AFM died in the acute phase of their illness. We have also learned of deaths in cases confirmed in previous years.
There were 46 confirmed cases in 2019 out of 142 PUIs. CDC, state, and local health departments are still investigating some of the PUIs.
There have been 626 confirmed cases since CDC began tracking AFM in August of 2014. CDC has been thoroughly investigating cases since that time. We have seen increases in AFM cases, mostly in young children, every two years.
