    BACKGROUND: Infection-related movement disorders (IRMD) represent an important group of secondary movement disorders whose prevalence, patterns, treatment and outcomes remain poorly understood.

    OBJECTIVES: To survey members of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society regarding prevailing practices in IRMD.

    METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted.

    RESULTS: Of 95 responses received, 75 (78.9%) were from the Asia-Oceania (AO) region and were further analyzed. The highest number of responses was from India (67/75, 89.3%). The most frequent phenotypes included ataxia (64, 85.3%), chorea (49, 65.3%), myoclonus (55, 73.3%) and parkinsonism (43, 57.3%). Tuberculosis-related (61, 81.3%), subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (50, 66.7%), and dengue-related movement disorders (49, 65.3%) were most frequent. Variable outcomes were observed by 46 (61.3%) respondents and 66 (88%) indicated that up to 50% of patients experienced persistence of IRMD.

    CONCLUSIONS: This survey provides critical insights into prevailing practices in the field of IRMD from the AO region.
