فِي دُبَيٍّ، أَوْقَفَ أَطِبَّاءُ نَوْبَاتِ الصَّرَعِ لَدَى رَضِيعٍ بِدَوَاءٍ تَجْرِيبِيٍّ. وَنَشَرَتْ صَحِيفَةُ الْخَلِيجِ الْخَبَرَ فِي الثَّانِي مِنْ نُوفَمْبَرَ.
كَانَ الطِّفْلُ يُصَابُ بِنَحْوِ مِئَةٍ وَعَشْرِ نَوْبَاتٍ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ. وَلَمْ تُسَاعِدْهُ سَبْعَةُ عِلَاجَاتٍ سَابِقَةٍ كَثِيرًا. وَبَعْدَ فَحْصٍ جِينِيٍّ، عَرَفَ الْأَطِبَّاءُ سَبَبَ مَرَضِهِ.
أَعْطَى الْأَطِبَّاءُ الطِّفْلَ الدَّوَاءَ فِي الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ سِبْتَمْبَرَ، فَتَوَقَّفَتِ النَّوْبَاتُ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ سَاعَةٍ. وَخَرَجَ مِنَ الْمُسْتَشْفَى بَعْدَ أُسْبُوعٍ.
وَلٰكِنَّ الدَّوَاءَ مَا زَالَ تَجْرِيبِيًّا، وَيُدْرَسُ فِي تَجَارِبَ طِبِّيَّةٍ. وَهٰذِهِ النَّتِيجَةُ تَخُصُّ طِفْلًا وَاحِدًا. لِذٰلِكَ، يُتَابِعُ الْأَطِبَّاءُ صِحَّتَهُ وَنُمُوَّهُ.

Experimental Treatment Stops an Infant’s Seizures in Dubai
In Dubai, doctors stopped an infant’s epileptic seizures with an experimental medicine. Al Khaleej newspaper published the report on November 2.
The child had about 110 seizures each day. Seven earlier treatments had not helped much. After a genetic test, doctors learned the cause of his illness.
Doctors gave the child the medicine on September 14, and the seizures stopped after half an hour. He left the hospital a week later.
However, the medicine is still experimental and is being studied in medical trials. This result concerns one child. Doctors are therefore monitoring his health and growth.
