AI Article Synopsis
- The article discusses a clinical case of a child experiencing a relapse of herpes simplex encephalitis accompanied by difficult-to-treat seizures.
- It emphasizes the importance of differentiating between structural epilepsy resistant to medications and late relapses of herpes simplex encephalitis as a cause of these seizures.
- The use of acyclovir for treatment, along with Cytoflavin, led to significant improvements in the child's condition, resulting in reduced seizures and recovery of neurological function.
Article Abstract
The article gives the clinical case of herpes simplex encephalitis relapse with the resistant seizures in a child. What we describe is a clinical approach towards the differential diagnostic of the seizures in structural epilepsy, which are resistant to anticonvulsants, or late herpes simplex encephalitis relapse. Good clinical perspective may be the indication of the intratecal synthesis of the IgG-specific antibodies to the herpes simplex type 1 and 2. Conducting etiotropic treatment with the appointment of acyclovir and pathogenetic therapy with the use of Cytoflavin contributed to the rapid and stable remission of epileptic seizures and regression of neurological deficit.
