点头综合征是一种明显的环境起源的小儿癫痫性脑病，最早在坦桑尼亚被描述，最近在南苏丹和乌干达流行。在简要描述了这种进行性脑部疾病的医学地理学、背景和病例定义之后，我们报告了2015年7月在乌干达古卢举行的第二届国际点头综合征会议上发表的论文中描述的有关病因、诊断和治疗的最新进展。本报告的目标受众包括：人类学家、昆虫学家、癫痫学家、卫生保健工作者、蠕虫学家、医学研究人员、神经流行病学家、神经学家、神经科学家、神经病理学家、护士、营养科学家、初级卫生保健医生、精神病学家、公共卫生从业人员、毒理学家和病毒学家。
Nodding syndrome is a pediatric epileptic encephalopathy of apparent environmental origin that was first described in Tanzania, with recent epidemics in South Sudan and Uganda. Following a brief description of the medical geography, setting and case definition of this progressive brain disorder, we report recent advances relating to etiology, diagnosis and treatment described in papers given at the 2nd International Conference on Nodding Syndrome held in July 2015 in Gulu, Uganda. The target audience for this report includes: anthropologists, entomologists, epileptologists, health care workers, helminthologists, medical researchers, neuroepidemiologists, neurologists, neuroscientists, neuropathologists, nurses, nutritional scientists, primary health care physicians, psychiatrists, public health practitioners, toxicologists, and virologists.
