Hello,
Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring
I have discussed your concern with our team Neurologist Dr.Sudhir Kumar (and hence the delay).
We would like to know whether a MRI was done at that time of seizure ? If so was it normal ? Also we would like to know whether a basic blood test panel was done, and if so was that nomal ?
What about the fasting blood sugar ?
Are on any medications now ?
You can reply as a followup
Thank you
Patient replied :
I am awaiting an MRI and EEG. When I had my first seizure the doctor said that I could have an infection but didn't state why. When I had a urinanalysis my leukocytes were quite high. I haven't had my fasting blood sugars done and I am not currently on any medication however I had a course of 2 separate anti biotics which were for suspected pelvic inflammatory disease but that was after my first seizure.
Thank you
Unless you are severely immune deficient individual you cannot get a candida infection in the brain. So do not worry. The pelvic inflammatory disease and the seizures are not related.
But the brain fog, hyperactivity, headaches need evaluation and only a MRI could give the relevant information. Based on the MRI and EEG we can rule out a lot of conditions. Further evaluation can be decided upton based on this. As of now Candidial infection (in general fungal infection) seems unlikely. But there are other infections like Cysticercosis which can cause seizure and these symptoms. These can be made out in the MRI and treated very well.
Hope this helps
Feel free to ask followups / clarifications
Thank you
