Gene expression analysis in children with complex seizures by influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 or rotavirus gastroenteritis

The differences of clinical characteristics in complex seizures induced by influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and rotavirus gastroenteritis are well known, but the pathogenic mechanisms remain unclear. We analyzed the gene expression profiles in the peripheral whole blood cells isolated from pediatric patients using an Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarray.Results provide insights into the difference of the pathogenesis in the patients with complex seizures induced by influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and rotavirus infections.
