[Report of 3 cases of acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis in Mexico].

Background: Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis (AHLE) or Weston-Hurst syndrome is a rare and severe variant of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). It causes fulminant hemorrhagic demyelination of the central nervous system, and has high mortality and morbidity. Due to the increase in cases and to its high rate of mortality, we decided to make a series of cases and a review of the disease.
