There is one condition in common in these children.
A 7.5 year old boy had severe seizure (status epilepticus) after two weeks of headache and colicky abdominal pain. He had weakness of the left arm also.
A 7 year old girl had complex parial seizure and weakness of half part of her body.
A 13 year old boy developed weakness of the arm and transient weakness of the legs.
A 7 year old boy had abdominal pain that severe enough to be suspected of appendicitis. Then he developed pain at the testicle and rashes at the legs.
A 5 year old boy had belly pain, red urine, and rashes at the legs.
This is not an uncommon illness in children.
