<unk>  (FIRES) is an epilepsy<unk>  in which new-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is preceded by<unk>  illness 24 hours to 2 weeks prior to the onset of seizures. The term was previously used for a paediatric<unk>  but was redefined to include all ages. FIRES was previously to refer to this<unk>  in children aged three to fifteen years old. A healthy child that may have been ill in the last few days or with a lingering fever goes into a state of continuous seizures. The seizures are resistant to seizure medications and treatments, though barbiturates may be administered. Medical diagnostic tests may initially return no clear diagnosis and may not detect any obvious swelling on the brain. The<unk>  is very rare: it may only affect 1 in 1,000,000 children.
