This article presents data on febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) and describes a clinical case. FIRES begins with refractory status epilepticus in the absence of any overt acute illness or an obvious structural, metabolic, or toxic cause. The exact etiology of this syndrome remains unknown. Although the name implies an infectious etiology, the infectious agent is usually not identified. There is as yet no effective treatment or control for this condition, as no approach has proven sufficiently effective in studies.
