چکیده
Increasing importance of vaccination during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, several vaccines were developed. Messenger RNA (mRNA) including BNT162b2 (Pfizer, New York, NY, USA; BioNTech, Mainz, Germany), mRNA-1273 (Moderna, Cambridge, MA, USA) have been disclosed side effects such as thrombocytopenia, myocarditis and headache in general. In addition, adverse due to autoimmune responses induced by spike glycoproteins mRNA are rarely reported the Guillain-Barre syndrome, encephalitis so on. Herein, we report a rare case with new-onset refractory status epilepticus after COVID-19 improved immune therapy.

متن کاملRefractory status epilepticus.
Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is a common problem in intensive care units and emergency departments. The important risk factor predisposing patients with SE to RSE is delay in receiving treatment. Self-sustaining SE is associated with progressive, time-dependent development of pharmacoresistance. Early termination of convulsive SE by aggressive treatment is the best way to prevent RSE. RS...
