Pyretotherapy as Treatment in West's Syndrome

Clinical Electroencephalography, 1984
Four cases of West's syndrome (generalized myoclonic spasms, arrest of psychomotor development and hypsarrhythmia) which were found to be resistant to the classical treatment (ACTH, prednisone, nitrazepam, clonazepam, etc.) are reported. In these cases, high fever (pyretotherapy) induced by TBA vaccine (typhoid and paratyphoid) was used.
