[Apparently unprovoked seizures precipitated by prefebrile condition].

We investigated the clinical features of the patients whose body temperature exceeded 38 degrees C, in 0.5-6 hours after an afebrile seizure (prefebrile seizure). Patients with meningoencephalitis and epilepsy were excluded from this study.

Effect of hyperthermia on hippocampal synaptic transmission and CA3 kindling in developing rats.

The effect of hyperthermia on excitatory synaptic transmission in the hippocampal CA1 area in response to contralateral CA3 stimuli at 23-26 days of age and the influence of hyperthermia-induced seizures (HS) on the kindling phenomenon induced by CA3 stimulation at 27-29 days of age were investigated in developing rats. When hyperthermia (43.6 +/- 0.

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis aggravated during the intraventricular interferon administration therapy.

Human lymphoblastoid interferon-alpha was given by intraventricular administration via an Ommaya reservoir to a woman who entered Jabbour stage III at the age of 25 years. The first dose was of 150,000 IU, and daily doses were gradually increased; the total dose over a 42-day period was 33,550,000 IU. The patient's neurological disability index score before this treatment was 56.
