Serum levels of cytokines and EEG findings in children with influenza associated with mild neurological complications
Summary
The relation between serum cytokine levels, EEG changes, and mild neurological complications (delirium and febrile seizure) in 27 children with proven influenza infection was studied at Okazaki City Hospital, and other centers in Japan. Ten patients had delirium (4 had a febrile seizure) and 17 had febrile seizures. EEGs recorded in 11 cases within 10-33 hours after a seizure showed focal or generalized slowing in 5.
