Symptoms of benign convulsions in enteritis

summary

Not long ago, a young couple came to the Pediatrics Department of Zhoupu hospital with their 1-year-old baby. The baby's face was cyanotic and her hands and feet were twitching all the time. The mother was scared and frightened. She told Doctor Zhang Jihong that yesterday the baby was a little bit loose and had a little low fever. But it was OK to see how he was sucking, so she wanted to observe it. Besides, she didn't take him to see the doctor immediately. Unexpectedly, such symptoms suddenly appeared today. After examination, I told the parents that the baby was suffering from benign infantile convulsions caused by rotavirus enteritis. Enteritis benign convulsion symptoms tell us.

Symptoms of benign convulsions in enteritis

Because the intestinal mucosal barrier of infants is weak, rotavirus can break through the gastrointestinal barrier into the blood, break through the blood-brain barrier, and cause symptoms of the central nervous system. In these children, rotavirus RNA can be detected simultaneously in their blood, cerebrospinal fluid and feces, and rotavirus specific IgG antibody can be detected from cerebrospinal fluid and blood of children with rotavirus encephalitis, so as to confirm the existence of viremia after rotavirus infection and its possible damage to central nervous system.

Convulsions occur on the first to third day of the course of enteritis, mainly in systemic seizures. When convulsions occur, there is no fever or low fever, the duration is short, easy to control, and there is no status convulsion;

Blood glucose, electrolyte, brain CT and EEG were normal, stool rotavirus antigen was positive, stool culture was negative; The incidence of the disease is high in the age of 1-2 years old, and it mostly occurs from October to February of the next year;

matters needing attention

1. Children with mild diarrhea symptoms can be corrected by oral rehydration; 2. For children with more severe symptoms, intravenous infusion can be used to correct dehydration and acidosis. Montmorillonite powder and microecological agents can be used to protect intestinal mucosa. Intestinal mucosal protective agents (such as montmorillonite powder) can absorb pathogens, fix toxins, and then excrete them with stool. At the same time, the protective agent can strengthen the barrier function of gastrointestinal mucosa and promote the repair of intestinal mucosa. 3. Combined with benign convulsion, generally without special treatment, it can relieve itself after a few seconds. If the convulsion lasts for a long time, please go to the hospital in time.
