Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

This condition itself is not contagious but it's acquired by contagious conditions like Viral infections, including:
Chickenpox
Coxsackie disease
Epstein-Barr virus
Mycoplasma pneumonia
HIV infection
Lyme disease
Exposure to insecticides called organophosphates
Exposure to certain toxins, such as lead , mercury , thallium, and alcohol
Cerebellar hemorrhage, abscess, blood clot, or obstruction of an artery
Causes of recurrent or chronic acute ataxia include:

Stroke
Malformation of the cerebellum
Multiple sclerosis
Migraine or vertigo
Genetic or metabolic disorders
Brain tumor
Alcoholism
Seizures

Best,
Susan
