AFM can progress rapidly and lead to respiratory failure, and most cases have been in children. In this webinar, panelists review what we know about AFM in the United States so far, clinical presentation and initial evaluation of patients with AFM, as well as the diagnostic workup and patient management considerations for suspected AFM, so that urgent care providers and other clinicians are better equipped to recognize AFM rapidly and provide appropriate care for their patients.
