EBV infection with convulsive syndrome in children: features of the clinic and diagnostics

Abstract

Epstein-Barr virus infection is one of the most common human infectious diseases. Clinical manifestations of the disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus are diverse and include infectious mononucleosis, damage of the liver, nervous system and other organs. Currently, the role of viruses in the occurrence of seizures in children is actively studied. According to modern ideas, persistent viruses can disrupt the mediator exchange in the brain. It is possible that the presence of an agent in the brain tissue can cause autoimmune reactions in relation to its own neurons. An in-depth study of the role of EBV in the development of convulsive syndrome in children has allowed us to confirm scientifically this assumption. In this article, the features of the clinical duration of ARI with convulsive syndrome caused by EBV are also presented.
