How I treat pediatric febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome
Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) mainly affects previously healthy children and adolescents, often leading to severe neurological impairment and long-term sequelae such as drug-resistant epilepsy and cognitive dysfunction. Based on two pediatric FIRES cases, combined with international and domestic guidelines as well as clinical experience, this paper highlights therapeutic strategies and escalation pathways tailored to different inflammatory phases in the acute and chronic stages. Incorporating continuous electroencephalogram monitoring and cerebrospinal fluid inflammatory cytokine profile changes, a phase-specific treatment approach is systematically described, centered on the rapid termination of status epilepticus, targeted cytokine immunotherapy, and multidisciplinary collaborative support, and the active use of tocilizumab, anakinra, and the ketogenic diet is emphasized, to provide practical guidance for clinicians in managing FIRES.
