Acute encephalopathy with onset of febrile convulsive status has severe sequelae.
We studied the efficacy of a mitochondrial drug cocktail for encephalopathy.
We used vitamins B1, C, and E, biotin, coenzyme Q10, and l-carnitine for cocktail.
Sequelae were significantly better when cocktail was administered within 24 h.
Early treatment with a mitochondrial drug cocktail may improve prognosis.
