[FIRES Syndrome in a Preschool Child].

Severe epileptic syndromes of childhood are an urgent problem for pediatric neurologists and neuroresuscitators. The article presents a clinical observation of FIRES syndrome in a pediatric patient, which is a form of severe drug-resistant epilepsy in children of preschool and school age, the development of which is caused by hyperthermia, probably associated with herpesvirus (human herpesvirus type 6) infection. The features of the progressive course and the difficulties of diagnostic search are reflected. An empirical approach to etiotropic therapy is described, since the disease manifested itself with respiratory manifestations and fever. The tactic of pathogenetic treatment is described, in which drugs of polyfunctional action, such as Cytoflavin, have a priority, many years of experience in the use of which allows the authors to recommend it as a starting intensive therapy.
