Abstract

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. In addition to genetic and idiopathic causes, certain drugs, infections, and viral illnesses have been associated with epileptogenic potential. This study aims to explore the epileptogenic potential of antibiotics, other medications, viral infections, bacterial infections, and parasitic infections. Antibiotics, such as fluoroquinolones and penicillin’s, have been reported to have a low epileptogenic potential. However, some specific antibiotics, such as cephalosporin’s and carbapenems, may carry a slightly higher risk of seizures in susceptible individuals.
