AB  - Children with acute encephalopathy show prolonged electrographic seizure activity 
      consistent with nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). Pediatric NCSE is a 
      heterogeneous clinical entity with poor outcome and different etiologies, 
      including central nervous system infection, stroke, toxic-metabolic syndrome, and 
      epileptic syndrome. We report a 4-year-old girl with seizure and behavioral 
      changes in whom the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid by polymerase chain reaction 
      was positive for Epstein-Barr virus. We emphasize the importance of 
      electroencephalography (EEG), and particularly, of continuous EEG monitoring for 
      early recognition and appropriate treatment of this condition.
