[Convulsive conditions in somatic pathology of infectious etiology in children with perinatal brain injury].

Convulsive conditions account for 69.8% out of the total number of patients admitted to the department of intensive care of the children's neurological hospital. In 25.3% (348 children) they first developed in the presence of somatic pathology of the infectious inflammatory genesis in children with perinatal brain injury. Acute somatic pathology (acute respiratory diseases, pneumonia, intestinal infections) dominated (n = 318). In all the children, convulsive seizures occurred in hyperthermia largely in early childhood. Apparently, in the majority of cases, perinatal injury alone was insufficient to precipitate seizures. However, the combined perinatal brain injury and an infectious disease form favourable conditions for the appearance of convulsive conditions in children. Therefore, to prevent them, of importance is the prophylaxis of both perinatal pathology and infectious diseases. The patients with convulsive conditions should be given combined treatment including anticonvulsants, antiinflammatory, antibacterial, detoxication and other drugs.
