Antiepileptic effects of levetiracetam in a rodent neonatal seizure model.

abstract：:Sudden infant death syndrome is the most common cause of postneonatal infant mortality in the developed world. It is a diagnosis of exclusion with peak age of incidence between 2 and 6 mo. Fifty to 63% of these infants have a preexisting upper respiratory tract infection before death. We hypothesized that the immature...
