COVID Epidemic On The Rise Today (Dec 3 Jul ’22) Dr. Kulset Sakphichaisakul Physician Expert Neurology, Epilepsy, Pediatrics-Neurology Division Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health Revealed via private Facebook on COVID and the brains of young children In a message stating that Not sure how much everyone is still following the COVID situation. because it has become an endemic disease Everything is back to normal. But I believe that many people Acknowledging that there is a small outbreak of COVID in many areas AND there is news that someone infected with COVID has died for unknown reasons.
in the last 2 weeks There are more children who are ill with COVID and are hospitalized, both in the public and private sectors. Personally, I have consulted weekly with children who have been infected with COVID and have brain symptoms. The most common symptom is seizures, but mostly, all are young children under 5 years old, that this cycle has not been seen in older children. The younger patient was 2 months old with seizures on day 1 and 4 of illness, and the other, 1 year old, had seizures until they needed endotracheal intubation. Brain scans to determine the cause found the scan results to be normal. It was fortunate that he was not violent.
After assessing the cause of the seizures suspected to be COVID related but not severe encephalitis, other than March-April 2022. In this round all children recovered and returned home. As a pediatric neurologist, I feel that COVID and brain symptoms in children are still new because some seizures cannot be deduced clearly. still need to track information
Master Dr. Kulset advised doctors and pediatricians as follows: If the patient has seizures Please use the anticonvulsant drug diazepam no more than 2 times as the anticonvulsant effect is less but the side effects are greater. and initiating early and long-acting anticonvulsants
advice to the public for young children It is recommended that you get the Pfizer vaccine red cap as soon as possible. The vaccine in young children has very few side effects. While children under the age of 5 are a group that is at risk of being infected with a risk of violence. or more complications than in older children
