Interferon beta (IFN-Beta) therapy in two children with SSPE: A case study

Bu çalışmada SSPE tanısı alan iki çocuğu 5 ve 6 ay boyunca interferon beta (IFN-beta) ile tedavi ettik. Ancak klinik gidiş, magnetik rezonans bulguları ve beyin-omurilik 'isi kızamık antikor düzeyleri üzerinde olumlu etki göremedik. Tedaviye karşı gelişen farklı cevapların, yıllar içinde virüs subtiplerindeki veya konağın immunolofik durumundaki değişikliklerle açıklanabileceğini düşünüyoruz. Ancak kesin bir karar için çok merkezli kontrollü çalışmalar yapılmalıdır.

SSPE'li iki çocukta interferon beta (IFN-Beta) tedavisi: Vaka çalışması

We treated two patients with SSPE by using intramuscular interferon beta (IFN-beta) and oral isoprinosine for 5 and 6 months. However, we found no effect on the clinical course, magnetic resonance findings and measles antibody liters of the cerebrospinal fluid. The different responses to the therapy may be explained by the changes of virus subtypes responsible in recent years or the differences of the immunity capabilities of the hosts. Further multicenter collaborative controlled studies are needed to determine the efficacy of(IFN-R).
