It’s a rarity for those who grow out of Epilepsy. Just because someone is seizure free , doesn’t mean, the Epilepsy is gone . They are still taking a form of medication or treatment for Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a form of brain damage. .

Any infections around the brain like Bacterial Meningitis an cause the diagnosis of Epilepsy.

The whooping cough is a respiratory .

But Tuberculosis can cause Epilepsy alone with……….
Neurocysticerosis
Cerebral Malaria
T.O.R.C.H. Infection
Herpes Simplex
Viral Encephalitis
HIV

All can cause someone to get Epilepsy
