Epilepsy etiology with special emphasis on immune dysfunction and neurovirology.

Brain & development - 1 Jan 1995

Eeg-Olofsson O, Bergström T, Osterland C K, Andermann F, Olivier A

Abstract excerpt

The etiology of epilepsy remains in most cases an enigma. Based on the finding of a genetically dependent immune dysfunction in focal epilepsies, brain specimens from 16 patients, ranging in age from 6 to 39 years and operated on for therapy-resistant focal, mainly temporal lobe epilepsy were analyzed for the presence of viral DNA. The PCR technique was used for detection of viral DNA from the herpes virus group....
