Infections and Inflammation: Key Drivers of Epilepsy

Created using ChatSlide

This presentation explores how CNS infections and inflammatory processes contribute to seizure risk and epilepsy. It reviews bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic causes, experimental models of epileptogenesis, sterile inflammation, febrile seizures, and antibody-mediated encephalitis. Emphasis is placed on mechanisms linking injury, immune responses, and later seizures, with attention to prevention strategies and clinical relevance.
