[Familial primary generalized epilepsy and drug (anticonvulsant)-induced systemic lupus erythematosus--a family study].

Abstract excerpt

We report a 12-year study of a family with high mortality rate due to primary generalized epilepsy. During indicated and non-indicated therapy with anticonvulsive drugs (succinimides and hydantoines) there developed symptoms of systematic lupus erythematosus. The value of controlled immunological and genetic markers is discussed.
