Epilepsy and viral infections.
In Clinical Science Viral infections may cause seizures via several pathogenetic mechanisms. Systemic infections, such as influenza, can lead to metabolic compromise, as well as occasional direct central nervous system (CNS) invasion—even though not usually neu-rotrophic. Although viral infection confined to the meninges rarely causes seizures and does not increase risk for later epilepsy , enc...
متن کاملSpontaneous hematological remission of acute myeloid leukemia
Spontaneous remission (SR) of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults is observed very rarely. To date, about 100 cases have been presented in the literature. To our best knowledge, we describe the first adult Polish patient suffering from acute myelomonocytic leukemia (48, XY, +13, +21/46, XY), in whom after supportive therapy, including non-irradiated, non-leukocyte depleted red cell transfusi...
متن کاملSpontaneous remission in hypoplastic acute leukemia.
A recurrent spontaneous complete remission of acute hypoplastic leukemia was observed. The remission occurred after a severe infection which was treated with antibiotics. Reports of spontaneous remission of acute leukemia in adults have become increasingly rare, and the remissions themselves are short-lived. Such spontaneous complete remissions are almost always associated with bacte rial infec...
متن کاملDefinition of intractable epilepsy.
Defining intractable epilepsy is essential not only to identify up to 40% of patients refractory to pharmacological management, but also to facilitate selection and comparison of such patients for research purposes. The ideal definition still eludes us. Multiple factors including number of antiepileptic drug (AED) failures, seizure frequency and duration of unresponsiveness, etiology, and epile...
متن کاملPredicting outcome following reoperation for medically intractable epilepsy
The purpose of this study was to determine predictors of probable outcome following reoperation for medically intractable partial epilepsy. We reviewed outcome at least 1 year after reoperation in 21 patients with intractable seizures, for whom an earlier operation had failed. We examined age of onset of epilepsy, duration of seizures, gender, details of the history and clinical examination, pr...
