Anti-inflammatory and immune-mediated therapy for a case of febrile
infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) with rapid recurrence
Abstract
Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a disease of
unknown etiology, characterized by refractory frequent focal seizures,
which require prolonged intensive care. We successfully treated a boy
with FIRES with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive therapy. This
case suggests that an autoimmune mechanism may play a role in the
development of FIRES
