Etiological associations and outcome predictors of acute electroencephalography in childhood encephalitis

Abnormalities on electroencephalography (EEG) comprise one of the diagnostic criteria for encephalitis (Granerod et al., 2010). However, EEG features that suggest encephalitis, such as slowing of the background, remain non-specific. Some EEG features have proposed etiological associations, such as extreme delta brush in anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis (Schmitt et al., 2012), periodic discharges in Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) (Lai and Grasgin, 1988; Kim et al., 2016) and temporal slowing and epileptic discharges in limbic encephalitis (Kaplan and Sutter, 2013).
