Epilepsy can be associated with behavioral changes, either due to the underlying lesion or repetitive overstimulation of the epileptogenic circuits.
Primary Human Herpes Virus-6 Causing Recalcitrant Pyrexia after Pilocytic Astrocytoma Resection
HHV-6 is ubiquitous and can acutely manifest with generalized symptoms of fever, irritability, rash, and lymphadenopathy, but has a predilection for the CNS like other human herpes viruses.
Viral infection is well documented in the literature, particularly in the immunocompromised host.
Postoperative fever in pediatric patients after tumor resection can be attributed to fastidious difficult-to-grow Propionibacterium or post-craniotomy inflammatory processes and treated with a course of steroids.
