The escalating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pandemic is a global public health threat with extensive health, economic and societal implications. Resistance emerges because of selection pressure from rational and indiscriminate antimicrobial use in human health as well as in the veterinary, agricul...ture and environmental sectors. Infections caused by resistant bacteria result in longer duration of illness, higher mortality rates and increased costs associated with alternative treatment. AMR further constrains procedures that rely on antimicrobial prophylaxis, and AMR is recognized as a threat to theworld economy.

Цель: оценить этиологическую структуру симптоматической эпилепсии, возрастную структуру периода манифестации заболевания, среднюю длительность латентного пери...да среди детей с различным характером повреждений, зависимость частоты приступов от характера повреждения. Материал и методы. Изучались 180 медицинских карт пациентов, имевших симптоматическую и криптогенную формы заболевания. Анализ заключался в оценке анамнестических данных, параметров ЭЭГ-исследований и нейровизуализации. Результаты. Установлено преобладание гипоксически-ишемической энцефалопатии в этиологической структуре заболевания. Возраст манифестации чаще приходился на период от года до 3 лет. Наиболее частой локализаци-
ей эпилептогенного очага явилась область височной и лобной доли. Наиболее длительный латентный период отмечен при ЧМТ, а наиболее короткий — при нейроинфекциях и последствиях внутриутробных инфекций. Заключение. Симптоматическая эпилепсия у детей является многофакторным заболеванием, течение и проявление которого в значительной мере зависят от инициального повреждения, вызвавшего данную патологию.
