OUTCOMES OF PANENCEPHALITIS IN CHILDREN WITH DIFFERENT DISEASE DURATION
Keywords:
Panencephalitis, inflammation of the brain, infections, autoimmune processes, neurodegenerative diseases, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, analysis of cerebrospinal fluid, serological tests.Abstract
Panencephalitis is a serious disease characterized by inflammation of the brain. This condition can be caused by various causes, including infections, autoimmune processes, or neurodegenerative diseases. Depending on the etiology, panencephalitis can be classified as primary or secondary, as well as viral, microbial or toxic. One of the forms of panencephalitis is subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSP), which usually develops several years after measles and can lead to serious neurological consequences. Diagnosis of panencephalitis includes neuroimaging, cerebrospinal fluid analysis and serological tests. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include antiviral, anti-inflammatory, or immunomodulatory drugs. The importance of timely diagnosis and treatment cannot be overestimated, as early intervention can significantly improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients.
