Potential inflammatory mechanisms of the ketogenic diet against febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a rare epilepsy syndrome with unclear pathogenesis, characterized by fever-induced, super-refractory status epilepticus and high mortality. Studies have shown that ketogenic diet (KD) is effective in controlling convulsions in FIRES, but its mechanisms are unclear. This paper intends to summarize the mechanisms by which KD may exert effects against FIRES....
