Abstract:
:Encephalopathy has been demonstrated to be associated with respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis. In this study, the data on all patients less than 14 years of age hospitalized with respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis over the past 4 years was reviewed. Patients who had concomitant diagnoses consistent with neurologic disease underwent detailed chart review. There were 964 patients (age 0.1 to 13.6 years) with a diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis. Thirty-six of these patients had concurrent neurologic diagnoses. Twenty-four patients were excluded because of preexistent neurologic disorders, probable simple febrile seizures, or a history of epilepsy. Twelve respiratory syncytial virus-positive patients had definite neurologic complications without another recognized cause. Seven of these patients had seizures (predominantly generalized tonic-clonic and one with status epilepticus), three had generalized encephalopathy (marked hypotonia and decreased responsiveness) of whom two also developed esotropia. Two patients developed isolated esotropia. There was an incidence of neurologic complications of 1.2% (0.7% seizures) in a total of 964 patients with respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis. This percentage does not include presumed simple febrile seizures or exacerbations of preexisting seizure disorder (further 1.3%). Neurologic complications occur with respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis, and physicians and other caregivers should be aware of this entity as well as the favorable prognosis.
