Abstract |
A 6-year-old Japanese boy with rapidly progressive SSPE was reported, who received interferon therapy and recovered from stage III-A to stage II-B according to the criteria of Freeman. This is the first report of the beneficial therapeutic effect of interferon therapy on rapidly progressive SSPE, which is lethal and poorly responded to any kind of previous therapeutic trials.
