[Acute necrotic encephalitis in children (clinico-electroencephalographic study)].

Twenty-five children aged 3 months to 13 years were examined electro-encephalographically. Most of the patients (20 of the 25) were young children (under 3 years of age) with the diagnosis of acute necrotic encephalitis. The characteristic changes of the EEG expressed in the form of cyclically arising asymmetric giant slow waves were established. The nature of the EEG was shown to correlate with the gravity of the clinical course. The data obtained may be used both diagnostically and prognostically.

[Electroencephalographic changes in patients with acute encephalitis].

EEG was used to examine 118 patients aged 17-60 with different types of acute encephalitis. In addition to EEG, clinical and laboratory methods, special (virological, serological, etc) ones were used for disease etiology specification. Necrotic (herpetic) encephalitis was diagnosed in 18 patients. EEG changes differed in their characteristics and correlated with the status gravity. Hypersynchronous slow activity was marked in the most grave patients. In acute encephalitides, EEG was considered to be a sufficiently informative differential-diagnostic and prognostic method of patients' examination.
