Focal Motor Status Epilepticus Following Treatment with Azlocillin and Cefotaxime

Pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of Rasmussen encephalitis: A European consensus statement

“…As far as complications are concerned, there (Ferrari et al, 1998;Bartolomei et al, 1999) Blood antibody tests Cat scratch disease (Nowakowski and Katz, 2002;Puligheddu et al, 2004) History Cutaneous papules, lymphoadenopathy Serology (Bartonella henselae) 5. Other Proconvulsive drugs: History Metrizimide (Shiozawa et al, 1981) Penicillin, Azlocillin-Cefotaxim (Wroe et al, 1987) Bone marrow transplant (Antunes et al, 2000) History Gliomatosis cerebri (Shahar et al, 2002) MRI is accumulating evidence that disconnective techniques (functional hemispherectomy and hemispherotomy) are associated with a lower incidence of complications compared with anatomical hemispherectomies (Villemure, 1997a,b).…”

Focal Status Epilepticus and Epilepsia Partialis Continua in Adults and Children

“…Renal and hepatic encephalopathies have been reported related to the occurrence of EPC. In addition to these recognized metabolic abnormalities, metrizemide (Shiozawa et al, 198 1) and penicillin and azlocillin-cefotaxime (Wroe et al, 1987) as iatrogenically introduced agents have been incriminated in the appearance of EPC.…”

“…If the lesion is progressive, the course is usually slightly graver than the course of the primary disorder. EPC seen with iatrogenic exposure to medication or metrizemide seems to follow a type I course in that the movements are fairly well restricted to an isolated few muscle groups and is a self-limited, clinically benign disorder (Shiozawa et al, 1981;Wroe et al, 1987).…”

“…Exposure to the offending agent needs to be stopped and obvious seizure activity treated. Complex partial and secondarily generalized seizures seem to respond to appropriate short-term antiepileptic drug treatment (Shiozawa et al, 1981;Wroe et al, 1987).…”
