The supervision of postencephalitic epilepsy after viral encephalitis / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Viral encephalitis(VE),one of important causes of postencephalitic epilepsy,is the common infec-tious disease of central nervous system. Although there are many researches of the clinical features and the medical effects about VE with epilepsy,it is scarce to find relative reports about the epilepsy in the sequelae stage. VE and epi-lepsy can cause heavy economic and psychological burden to the patients themselves,their family and society,so the epidemiology,the clinical feature,the therapy,the prognosis and the current status of follow-up studies of postencepha-litic epilepsy after VE are summarized in order to provide the basis for the follow-up supervision.
