Here is a plain-language explanation of this hospital discharge document from Al Qassimi Hospital, UAE for a patient named Mohammad Mustafa Abdul Rahiman (23-year-old male, MRN: MQH-00829248).
What Happened — The Story of This Admission
Admitted: 3 April 2026 | Discharged: 9 April 2026 | Department: Neurology
Why He Was Admitted
He came to the Emergency Room with recurrent seizures (GTCS — generalized tonic-clonic seizures, the type where the whole body shakes). He had about 4 episodes starting from 7 PM on 3 April, each lasting ~5 minutes, followed by agitation and irritability. He was conscious when he arrived. He also complained of left shoulder pain.
Background: He had reportedly fallen about 10 days before admission (slipped during rainy season), but stayed conscious at the time. No prior history of seizures, fever, weakness, smoking, alcohol, or family history of neurological disease.
Because of the severity of the seizures, he was intubated (a breathing tube placed) in the ER and transferred to the ICU.
Diagnoses Made During Admission
| Diagnosis | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Status epilepticus | Prolonged or repeated seizures — a medical emergency |
| Acute encephalopathy | Brain dysfunction causing confusion/altered awareness |
| Encephalitis | Inflammation of the brain (possible infection or immune cause) |
| Liver injury | Elevated liver enzymes, likely from the seizures (myoglobinemia) or medication |
| Myoglobinemia | Muscle breakdown products in the blood — a complication of prolonged seizures |
| Left shoulder dislocation | The shoulder joint came out of its socket, likely from a seizure fall |
| Mechanically assisted ventilation | He required a breathing machine temporarily |
Investigations & Results
Brain EEG (Electroencephalogram)
An 18-channel brain electrical activity recording was done while the patient was awake.
- No epileptiform (seizure) discharges found — meaning no active electrical seizure pattern was seen at the time of the test.
- However, there was abnormal brain slowing — particularly over the left frontocentral-parietal region — pointing to diffuse subcortical pathology (widespread underlying brain dysfunction), more prominent on the left side.
- This is consistent with encephalopathy, not classic epilepsy.
MRI Brain with Contrast (5 April 2026)
- Normal — no lesions, no abnormal signals, no bleeding, no swelling, no pathological enhancement.
- Hippocampus, amygdala, and all other brain structures were normal.
- Important: A normal MRI does NOT rule out encephalitis — HSV (herpes) encephalitis in particular can appear normal early on.
CT Brain (4 April 2026)
- Normal — no bleeding, no mass, no skull fracture, no brain herniation.
CT Cervical Spine (4 April 2026)
- No fractures.
Chest X-ray (7 April 2026)
- Breathing tube and nasogastric (feeding) tube had been removed — good sign of recovery.
- Clear lungs, no pneumonia, no fluid.
Shoulder X-rays
- Confirmed anterior shoulder dislocation on 3 April.
- Follow-up X-ray on 4 April: good alignment after reduction — the shoulder was successfully put back in place.
Treatments Given
| Medication | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Acyclovir (IV, 400 mg every 8 hrs × 7 days) | Antiviral — treating possible HSV (herpes) encephalitis. They are waiting for the HSV PCR test result and continuing it until the result comes back negative. |
| Ceftriaxone (IV, 2 gm daily × 7 days) | Antibiotic — covering for bacterial meningitis/encephalitis |
| Levetiracetam (500 mg every 12 hrs) | Anti-epileptic drug — to prevent further seizures |
| Lorazepam (4 mg) | Benzodiazepine — used to stop active seizures |
| Enoxaparin (40 mg daily) | Blood thinner — to prevent blood clots during prolonged bed rest |
| Pantoprazole (40 mg daily) | Protects the stomach from ulcers (common when on multiple drugs) |
| Vitamin B1 / Thiamine (100 mg daily) | Neurological support; given when encephalopathy is suspected |
| IV Normal Saline (1000 mL) | IV fluids for hydration |
Consultations
The team involved specialists from:
- Gastroenterology (for liver injury)
- Orthopedics (for shoulder dislocation)
- Internal Medicine (general medical support)
Condition at Discharge
- Vitals stable: Temp 36.7°C, Heart rate 90, BP 107/68, SpO₂ 97%
- Conscious and alert, but mildly confused and slow in response
- No limb weakness
- Walking without support
Discharge Instructions & Follow-Up
- Continue Levetiracetam (anti-seizure) — 1 tablet twice daily for 60 days
- Continue Thiamine (Vitamin B1) — 1 tablet daily for 30 days
- Continue Pantoprazole — once daily
- HSV PCR result is still pending — advised to continue Acyclovir until result is negative
- NMDA receptor antibody test ordered — this checks for autoimmune encephalitis, a condition where the immune system attacks the brain (a key differential in young patients with seizures + encephalopathy)
- HIV screening ordered
- Follow up at Neurology Clinic
- Go to the ER immediately if any new seizure, limb weakness, or worsening confusion occurs
Key Takeaway
This young man presented with a medical emergency — severe, repeated seizures (status epilepticus) with brain dysfunction. The team worked to rule out:
- Herpes encephalitis (HSV) — treated empirically with Acyclovir while awaiting PCR
- Bacterial meningitis — covered with Ceftriaxone
- Autoimmune encephalitis (NMDA receptor type) — antibody test sent
The MRI and EEG were largely reassuring, but the cause was not fully confirmed at discharge — hence the pending tests and the instruction to continue Acyclovir. He recovered enough to go home walking, though still mildly confused.
These are his blood test
Here is a complete plain-language breakdown of all the blood test results, organized by system.
Complete Blood Count (CBC) — 9 April 2026
| Test | Result | Normal Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| WBC (White blood cells) | 11.60 ×10³/mcL | 4.0–11.0 | ⚠️ Slightly high — suggests infection or inflammation |
| RBC (Red blood cells) | 5.0 ×10⁶/µL | 4.5–5.9 | ✅ Normal |
| Hgb (Hemoglobin) | 13.8 g/dL | 13.5–17.5 | ✅ Normal |
| Hct (Hematocrit) | 42.3% | 41–53% | ✅ Normal |
| MCV (Red cell size) | 84.4 fL | 80–100 | ✅ Normal |
| MCH | 27.5 pg | 27–33 | ✅ Normal |
| MCHC | 32.6 g/dL | 32–36 | ✅ Normal |
| RDW | 12.9% | 11.5–14.5 | ✅ Normal |
| Platelets | 306 ×10³/mcL | 150–400 | ✅ Normal |
| MPV | 9.8 fL | 7.5–12.5 | ✅ Normal |
White Cell Differential
| Test | Result | Normal | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neutrophils % | 76.5% | 50–70% | ⚠️ Slightly elevated |
| Neutrophils Absolute | 8.89 ×10³/mcL | 1.8–7.7 | ⚠️ High — active immune response, consistent with infection |
| Lymphocytes % | 14.3% (Low) | 20–40% | ⚠️ Low — common in acute stress/infection |
| Lymphocytes Absolute | 1.65 ×10³/mcL | 1.0–4.8 | ✅ Normal absolute number |
| Monocytes % | 7.7% | 2–10% | ✅ Normal |
| Eosinophils % | 1.3% | 1–6% | ✅ Normal |
| Basophils % | 0.2% | 0–1% | ✅ Normal |
Summary: Mild neutrophilia (high neutrophils) with relative lymphopenia — a classic pattern of bacterial infection or acute stress response, consistent with his encephalitis and ongoing infections.
Coagulation (Clotting) Tests
| Test | Result | Normal | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| PT (Prothrombin time) | 14.10 sec (High) | 11–13.5 sec | ⚠️ Slightly prolonged — clotting slightly slower than normal |
| PTT | 31.20 sec | 25–35 sec | ✅ Normal |
| INR | 1.26 | 0.8–1.2 | ⚠️ Mildly elevated — reflects the liver injury affecting clotting factor production |
Summary: The mildly elevated PT/INR is consistent with liver injury — the liver makes clotting proteins, so when it is damaged, clotting takes slightly longer. Not dangerous, but worth monitoring.
Electrolytes & Kidney Function — 9 April 2026
| Test | Result | Normal | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium | 138 mmol/L | 135–145 | ✅ Normal |
| Potassium | 3.82 mmol/L | 3.5–5.0 | ✅ Normal |
| Chloride | 101 mmol/L | 98–106 | ✅ Normal |
| CO₂ (Bicarbonate) | 24 mmol/L | 22–29 | ✅ Normal — acid-base balance fine |
| BUN (Blood urea nitrogen) | 3.73 mmol/L | 2.5–7.1 | ✅ Normal |
| Creatinine | 67 µmol/L (Low) | 74–110 | ✅ Technically flagged low but in a young muscular person this can be normal — kidneys working well |
| eGFR | 130 mL/min/1.73m² | >60 (normal) | ✅ Excellent kidney function |
Summary: Electrolytes and kidney function are completely normal. Kidneys are handling things well despite the high myoglobin levels (which can damage kidneys if severe enough).
Liver & Muscle Enzyme Panel — Most Critical Results
| Test | Result | Normal | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| AST | 861 U/L → improved to 500 U/L | 10–40 | 🔴 Very high — major muscle/liver damage |
| Alk Phos | 69.62 IU/L | 44–147 | ✅ Normal |
| GGT | 33 IU/L | 8–61 | ✅ Normal |
| Calcium | 2.09 mmol/L (Low) | 2.15–2.55 | ⚠️ Mildly low (hypocalcemia) |
| Phosphorus | 0.84 mmol/L | 0.81–1.45 | ✅ Normal |
| Magnesium | 0.75 mmol/L | 0.74–1.03 | ✅ Normal |
Muscle Damage Markers — Most Striking Findings
| Test | Result | Normal | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total CK (Creatine Kinase) | >1000 IU/L (×2 readings on 7 & 8 Apr) | 55–170 | 🔴 Massively elevated — severe muscle breakdown |
| LDH | 574 IU/L | 140–280 | 🔴 High — tissue damage (muscle and/or liver) |
| Troponin-I | 10.05 ng/L | <15.6 (typical) | ✅ Normal — heart muscle NOT damaged |
| Myoglobin | 2196 → 1093 → 1039 ng/mL | <90 ng/mL | 🔴 Extremely high — severe rhabdomyolysis, improving over time |
What the Muscle Markers Mean — Rhabdomyolysis
The pattern of massively elevated CK, Myoglobin, AST, and LDH with a normal Troponin tells a clear story:
Rhabdomyolysis — This is a condition where muscle fibers break down and release their contents (particularly myoglobin and CK) into the bloodstream. In this patient, it was caused directly by the prolonged repeated seizures (status epilepticus), which cause violent, sustained muscle contractions that destroy muscle tissue.
The myoglobin peaked at 2196 ng/mL on 7 April (normal is below 90), then fell to 1093 and then 1039 over the following day — showing the condition was improving with treatment (IV fluids, rest, stopping the seizures).
The high AST (861 U/L) is coming primarily from muscle breakdown, not just the liver — AST is found in both muscle and liver. The normal GGT and Alk Phos support this.
The mildly low calcium is also a known complication of rhabdomyolysis — calcium gets deposited into damaged muscle tissue.
Overall Summary of Blood Tests
| System | Status | Key Finding |
|---|---|---|
| Blood cells | Mild abnormality | Raised WBC — active infection/inflammation |
| Clotting | Mildly abnormal | PT/INR slightly raised — liver strain |
| Kidneys | Normal | eGFR 130 — protected despite high myoglobin |
| Electrolytes | Normal | Sodium, potassium, all fine |
| Liver enzymes | Abnormal (improving) | AST very high — mostly from muscle damage |
| Muscle damage | Severely abnormal (improving) | CK >1000, Myoglobin 2196 → trending down |
| Heart | Normal | Troponin normal — heart unaffected |
The good news is that the myoglobin was trending down by discharge, the kidneys were protected, and the most dangerous complications (kidney failure, heart damage) did not occur. The remaining concern is the ongoing encephalopathy and the pending HSV PCR result.

It looks like your message came through empty. What would you like to know? For example:
- "What does this mean for his recovery?"
- "Is the encephalitis confirmed?"
- "What should we watch out for after discharge?"
- "Explain a specific test result"
- "What is rhabdomyolysis?"
Just ask and I'll help.
Still this patient is having seizure
This is serious. Let me give you practical, clear guidance.
⚠️ If He Is Having a Seizure RIGHT NOW
Call emergency services immediately — 998 (UAE ambulance)
While waiting:
- Lay him on his side (recovery position) to prevent choking
- Do not put anything in his mouth
- Do not restrain him — move hard objects away
- Time the seizure — if it lasts more than 5 minutes, that is an emergency
- Stay with him until help arrives
Why He Is Still Having Seizures
Based on his discharge documents, the cause of his seizures was NOT fully identified at discharge. The most likely reasons he continues to seize:
1. Underlying cause still untreated
- The HSV PCR was still pending at discharge — if herpes encephalitis is confirmed and not fully treated, seizures will continue
- NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis was suspected but the antibody test result was not back — this condition is notorious for causing prolonged, treatment-resistant seizures in young people
- If the cause is autoimmune, he needs immunotherapy (steroids, IVIG, or plasmapheresis), not just anti-seizure drugs
2. Levetiracetam dose may be insufficient
- He was discharged on 500 mg twice daily — this is a relatively low dose
- For ongoing seizures, the dose often needs to be increased, or a second anti-seizure drug added
3. The encephalitis/brain inflammation is still active
- His EEG showed abnormal brain slowing from the left hemisphere — this means the brain is still irritated and inflamed
- Active inflammation = ongoing seizure risk
What Needs to Happen NOW
He must go back to the hospital — do not manage this at home.
When you go, tell the doctors:
"He was discharged from Al Qassimi Hospital on 9 April 2026 with encephalitis and seizures. HSV PCR and NMDA receptor antibody results were pending. He is still having seizures on levetiracetam."
The doctors need to urgently check:
| Action | Why |
|---|---|
| Get HSV PCR result | Continue or stop Acyclovir |
| Get NMDA antibody result | If positive → start immunotherapy immediately |
| Review and increase anti-seizure medication | Current dose may be too low |
| Repeat EEG | Check if seizure activity has changed |
| Consider continuous EEG monitoring | To detect hidden seizures |
| Check blood levels of levetiracetam | Ensure therapeutic levels |
The Bottom Line
A 23-year-old with ongoing seizures after encephalitis with two pending critical test results (HSV PCR + NMDA antibodies) needs to be back under neurological care urgently. The discharge was partly because the family requested to go home (LAMA — Leave Against Medical Advice was mentioned in the notes).
Please take him to the nearest emergency department now and bring all these documents with you.

Here is a thorough, plain-language teaching guide about this patient's condition — covering everything from start to finish.
Understanding This Patient's Condition
The Big Picture
This young man most likely has encephalitis — inflammation of the brain itself — which triggered a cascade of serious complications. There are two main causes being investigated, and both are still possible.
Part 1: What Is Encephalitis?
Encephalitis means the brain tissue is inflamed. Unlike meningitis (which affects the covering/lining of the brain), encephalitis affects the brain substance itself.
Think of it this way:
The brain is like an engine. Meningitis inflames the engine cover. Encephalitis inflames the engine itself.
Causes fall into two big categories:
| Type | Cause | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Infectious | A virus (most commonly Herpes Simplex Virus — HSV) invades brain tissue | Antiviral medication (Acyclovir) |
| Autoimmune | The body's own immune system mistakenly attacks the brain | Immunotherapy (steroids, IVIG, plasma exchange) |
In this patient, both are being considered simultaneously, which is why he is on both Acyclovir (antiviral) AND being tested for NMDA receptor antibodies.
Part 2: HSV Encephalitis (Herpes Brain Infection)
What happens?
The Herpes Simplex Virus (the same family as cold sores) can occasionally travel up nerves into the brain. It has a preference for the temporal lobes — the parts of the brain responsible for memory, behavior, and emotion.
Why suspect it in him?
- Fever, agitation, irritability, seizures, altered consciousness in a young person = classic presentation
- MRI was normal — but HSV encephalitis can appear normal in the first 24–48 hours
- Standard practice is to treat with Acyclovir empirically (before the test result comes back) because delaying treatment causes irreversible brain damage
What does the spinal fluid show?
His lumbar puncture (LP) showed:
- 3 white cells — mildly elevated (normal is 0–5), consistent with viral encephalitis
- Protein 40.4 mg/dL — mildly elevated, also consistent
The HSV PCR (a DNA test on the spinal fluid) was still pending at discharge. If positive → confirmed HSV encephalitis, continue Acyclovir for a full 14–21 day course.
Part 3: Anti-NMDA Receptor Autoimmune Encephalitis
This is the other major diagnosis the doctors are investigating — and it may actually be the more likely cause given his clinical picture.
What is it?
The body's immune system produces antibodies (proteins normally used to fight infections) that accidentally target a brain receptor called the NMDA receptor. These antibodies latch onto the receptor and disable it, causing widespread brain dysfunction.
The NMDA receptor is critical for memory, learning, behavior, and seizure control. When it is blocked by antibodies, the brain essentially loses its "brake system."
Who gets it?
- Most common in young people — especially women under 45 (often linked to ovarian tumors called teratomas)
- Also occurs in young men — typically without a tumor, sometimes after a viral infection that "triggers" the immune attack
- This patient is a 23-year-old male — fits the demographic
The typical stages of anti-NMDA encephalitis:
| Stage | Symptoms |
|---|---|
| 1. Prodrome | Mild headache, fever, flu-like symptoms |
| 2. Psychiatric phase | Agitation, confusion, behavioral change, irritability |
| 3. Seizure phase | Repeated seizures, status epilepticus |
| 4. Unresponsive phase | Decreased consciousness, ICU admission, ventilator |
| 5. Hyperkinetic phase | Abnormal movements, rigidity |
| 6. Recovery | Slow, over weeks to months |
This patient went through stages 2, 3, and 4 — he had agitation + irritability → repeated seizures → intubated in ICU.
Why is this important?
Anti-NMDA encephalitis does NOT respond to antiviral or antibiotic drugs. It requires the immune attack to be stopped with:
- High-dose steroids (reduces inflammation)
- IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin — "resets" the immune system)
- Plasmapheresis (filters the harmful antibodies out of the blood)
- Rituximab (if the above fail)
If not treated, the seizures will continue regardless of how many anti-seizure drugs are given, because the root cause (antibodies attacking the brain) is not being addressed.
Part 4: Status Epilepticus — What He Had
A normal seizure lasts 1–2 minutes and stops on its own. Status epilepticus is defined as:
A seizure lasting more than 5 minutes, OR repeated seizures without regaining full consciousness in between.
This patient had 4 seizures each lasting ~5 minutes — that qualifies as status epilepticus and is a neurological emergency.
Why is it dangerous?
| Complication | What happens |
|---|---|
| Brain damage | Prolonged seizures starve the brain of oxygen |
| Rhabdomyolysis | Violent muscle contractions destroy muscle tissue |
| Breathing failure | Muscles of breathing become exhausted → needs ventilator |
| Cardiac stress | Heart works abnormally hard |
| Aspiration | Vomit can enter lungs during a seizure |
His blood tests confirmed severe rhabdomyolysis — myoglobin was 2196 ng/mL (normal <90). His muscles were breaking down from the seizure activity. This is why his CK and AST were so high.
— Goldman-Cecil Medicine, Status Epilepticus section
Part 5: Why His EEG Was Abnormal But "No Epileptiform Discharges"
This is a key point that confuses many people.
EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain in real-time. Two findings are possible:
- Epileptiform discharges — electrical "spikes" that mean a seizure is happening or about to happen
- Background slowing — the brain's normal electrical rhythm is slow and disorganized — means the brain is sick/injured but not actively seizing at that moment
His EEG showed background slowing over the left hemisphere — meaning:
- No active seizure at the time of the test ✅
- But the brain is clearly abnormal and injured ⚠️
- Left-sided prominence is consistent with encephalitis affecting the left temporal/frontal lobe
This does NOT mean he won't seize again. It means the underlying brain irritability is still present.
Part 6: Why the MRI Was Normal
A normal MRI does not rule out encephalitis. Here's why:
| Condition | MRI appearance |
|---|---|
| HSV encephalitis (early, <48 hrs) | Can be normal |
| Anti-NMDA encephalitis | Often completely normal — the damage is biochemical, not structural |
| Bacterial meningitis | Usually shows enhancement |
| Brain tumor or bleed | Always visible |
The fact that his MRI is normal actually favors autoimmune encephalitis (especially anti-NMDA), because structural brain diseases almost always show up on MRI.
Part 7: Why Is He Still Seizing After Discharge?
This is the core problem right now. There are three reasons:
1. The root cause is untreated
- If anti-NMDA encephalitis is the cause, levetiracetam alone will not stop the seizures — you must treat the immune attack itself
- If HSV encephalitis → he needs a full 14–21 day course of Acyclovir IV, not just 7 days
2. The anti-seizure medication may be underdosed
- Levetiracetam 500 mg twice daily is a starter dose — in active epilepsy this often needs to go up to 1000–1500 mg twice daily
- A second drug (e.g. valproate, clobazam, or lacosamide) may need to be added
3. The brain is still inflamed
- Until the inflammation resolves, the brain remains in an irritable, seizure-prone state
- This can take weeks to months, especially in autoimmune encephalitis
Summary — What This Patient Has and What He Needs
| Issue | Status | Action Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Encephalitis (brain inflammation) | Active | Identify and treat the cause |
| HSV encephalitis? | Pending PCR result | Continue Acyclovir until negative |
| Anti-NMDA autoimmune encephalitis? | Pending antibody result | If positive → steroids + IVIG urgently |
| Ongoing seizures | Active | Increase anti-seizure medication; treat root cause |
| Rhabdomyolysis | Improving | Monitor kidney function, stay hydrated |
| Mild confusion | Persisting | Expected with encephalitis; needs time + treatment |
The Most Important Message
This patient needs to be back in hospital. His seizures continuing at home means his condition is not under control. The two critical test results (HSV PCR and NMDA antibodies) that determine the correct treatment were still unknown at discharge. Until those results are acted upon and the right treatment started, the seizures will not stop.
Take him to the emergency department now with all his documents.
Today's date is 18/04/26
This is very concerning. Let me put this in perspective.
It Has Been 9 Days Since Discharge
He was discharged on 9 April 2026 and today is 18 April 2026.
What was supposed to happen after discharge:
| Task | Status |
|---|---|
| HSV PCR result — act on it | ❓ Unknown if followed up |
| NMDA receptor antibody result — act on it | ❓ Unknown if followed up |
| Continue Acyclovir until HSV PCR negative | ❓ Unknown if continued |
| Follow up at Neurology Clinic | ❓ Unknown if attended |
| Return to ER if any seizure occurs | ❌ Has not happened despite ongoing seizures |
Why 9 Days of Untreated Seizures Is Dangerous
Every day that passes with:
- Uncontrolled seizures = more brain cell death, more risk of injury, more rhabdomyolysis
- Untreated autoimmune encephalitis = the antibodies keep attacking the brain. The longer it goes untreated, the harder it is to reverse and the more permanent the damage
- Incomplete Acyclovir course = if HSV was the cause and treatment stopped at 7 days, the virus can reactivate and cause worse damage
The window for best recovery is NOW
Studies show that in anti-NMDA encephalitis:
Patients treated within 4 weeks of symptom onset have significantly better outcomes than those treated late. After 3+ months, recovery becomes incomplete and seizures may become permanent (refractory epilepsy).
His symptoms started 3 April. Today is 18 April. That is 15 days in. He is still within the window where aggressive treatment can lead to full recovery — but that window is closing.
What You Must Do Today
Go to Al Qassimi Hospital Emergency Department or the nearest major hospital immediately.
Bring all the discharge papers. Tell them:
"This patient was discharged from Al Qassimi Hospital on 9 April 2026 with encephalitis, status epilepticus, and two pending test results — HSV PCR and NMDA receptor antibodies. He has been having ongoing seizures since discharge for 9 days. He needs urgent neurology review and those test results acted upon."
What the hospital needs to do urgently:
- Retrieve the HSV PCR result — if positive, restart full-course IV Acyclovir (14–21 days total)
- Retrieve the NMDA antibody result — if positive, start immunotherapy immediately (IV methylprednisolone + IVIG)
- Admit him — seizures at home cannot be safely managed
- Repeat EEG — check if seizure activity has worsened
- Increase or add anti-seizure medication
- Recheck blood tests — myoglobin, kidney function, liver enzymes after 9 more days
One Clear Message
He should not spend another night at home. Nine days of ongoing seizures after encephalitis, with critical test results still unreviewed, is a medical emergency. The longer this is delayed, the greater the risk of permanent brain damage, memory loss, and treatment-resistant epilepsy.
