ABSTRACT

Epilepsy is one of the most frequent neurological problems. Despite of the advances and improvements in treatment of seizure disorders, immunological alterations such as immunoglobulins and complements have been measured. The levels of IgG in epileptic patients are found to be higher than controls. The levels of IgA, IgM, C3 and C4 were found to be lower in all the controls. Student’s t-test were also applied. Multiple and regression analysis, have been also carried out. A trend has also set up in the present study. An alteration in the immune mechanism of epileptic patients is required. Ketogenic diet may be given and the balance of trace elements like Na, K, Zn, Fe, Ca, Mg and Cu may be maintained to alter the immune mechanism of the epileptic patients. Green leafy vegetables may be given to the patients to control the seizure. Immunity is related with the food we eat. By adjusting the immunity with proper diet the severity of epileptic attack or any disease may be reduced.
