Question
What will be the CSF finding in DPT induced seizures? How to confirm the DPT induced seizures? Is there any need to treat DPT induced seizures with anticonvolutions; if so how long?
Answer
CSF in DPT induced seizures will be normal. DPT induced seizures will be suspected if the seizures occur within 48-72 hours after giving DPT. Unless the child has status epilepticus, there is no need to give anticonvolusants to the child. One needs to avoid pertussis vaccine for next immunization.
