AB  - Infection, whether viral or bacterial, can result in various forms of brain 
      dysfunction (encephalopathy). Septic encephalopathy (SE) is caused by an 
      excessive immune reaction to infection, with clinical features including 
      disturbed consciousness and seizures. Acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures 
      and late reduced diffusion (AESD) is usually accompanied by viral infection in 
      children and is characterized by biphasic seizures and impaired consciousness. 
      The initial neurologic symptom of AESD is typically a febrile seizure that 
      frequently lasts longer than 30 minutes. However, the possible forms this seizure 
      takes are unclear. For example, it is unknown if nonconvulsive status epilepticus 
      (NCSE) could be an early seizure symptomatic of AESD. In addition, thus far no 
      cases of combined SE and AESD have been reported. Here, we describe the first 
      reported case of SE with AESD that notably demonstrated NCSE as an early seizure.
