Seizures increase dentate granule cell proliferation in adult rats but decrease proliferation in young pups. The particular period and number of perinatal seizures required to cause newborn granule cell suppression in development are unknown. Therefore, we examined cell proliferation with
BACKGROUND
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare and potentially life-threatening acute drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) predominantly aromatic AEDs are commonly reported in DRESS. To date there are no reports of sulthiame
OBJECTIVE
A probable case of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) associated with consecutive use of three medications for seizure control is reported.
CONCLUSIONS
A 36-year-old woman was treated at a community hospital for a mild fever (37.9°C) and diffuse raised
Drug Rash (or Reaction) with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) is a potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction to drugs characterized by rash, fever, lymphadenopathy, hematologic abnormalities, and involvement of internal organs. Initially coined in 1996, the term is used to
Guinea pigs were sensitized by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin, 10 micrograms mixed with 100 mg A1(OH)3 in saline. On days 15-30 sensitized guinea pigs were challenged with ovalbumin aerosol (0.5 mg/ml, 30 s, 15 psi) which produced immediate asthmatic responses characterized by dyspnea,
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of lamotrigine-induced drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome with pancreatitis as the initial visceral involvement.
METHODS
A 75-year-old man was admitted to the local hospital for generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Results of the clinical
BACKGROUND
Eosinophilia has not been reported as a manifestation of a mitochondrial disorder (MID). Here, we report a patient with clinical features suggesting a MID and permanent eosinophilia, multisystem disease, and progressive hyper-creatine-kinase (CK)-emia for at least 10
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of levetiracetam-induced drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome.
METHODS
A 31-year-old white male with a low-grade astrocytoma presenting with tonic-clonic seizures was treated with levetiracetam 1 g twice daily and dexamethasone (initial
OBJECTIVE
Myocarditis that develops because of the drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a life-threatening disease. We report a case of DRESS-associated myocarditis with cardiac failure that required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiovascular
We report our preliminary observations on the role of Gabapentin as an add - on therapy in 16 patients with partial or secondary generalised seizures who were resistant to conventional antiepileptic drugs. There was a reduction in the seizure frequency by more than 50 in 11 (69), less than 50 in 3
Levetiracetam is considered by many clinicians to be one of the most benign antiepileptic medications available. We report the case of a 24-year-old man presenting with seizures for which he was started on levetiracetam. Despite an extensive work-up and treatment of possible infectious and
The likelihood of a drug reaction with lamotrigine is increased by dose escalation that is too rapid or drug interactions that increase the concentration of lamotrigine. There is a well-documented interaction between valproic acid and lamotrigine in which lamotrigine levels are increased,
We report a case of drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) due to carbamazepine. Anticonvulsants are the most common medicines causing DRESS and once it occurs, it is difficult to find an effective alternative treatment. In our case, switching from carbamazepine to phenobarbital
Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a severe drug hypersensitivity reaction characterized by rash, fever and multi-organ failure. Limbic encephalitis (LE) is a rare disorder characterized by cognitive dysfunction with memory disturbance, seizures and psychiatric symptoms. We
Clozapine is associated with various haematological adverse effects, including leukopenia, neutropenia, agarnulocytosis, leukocytosis, anaemia, eosinophilia, thrombocytopenia and thrombocythaemia. Recognition and treatment of clozapine-related seizures also will become increasingly important as
