Alpers Disease Alpers Disease, formally known as Alpers Progressive Infantile Poliodystrophy, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. It is also known as Christensen-Krabbe Disease. The symptoms initially manifest via convulsions. Over time, the symptoms grow to include dementia, spasticity, and monoclonus. The final symptom the patient usually experiences is status epilepticus (Ford, 1951). Following the initial convulsions, neuronal degeneration begins to occur. The degeneration results in the formation of spongiform tissue. Alpers is also linked to massive liver failures (Catherine, 1999). Back

Alpers Disease This article submitted by Janice E. Reijnaert on 6/26/96. Author's Email: GReijnaert@aol.com Our youngest son Brennan, died in Feb. of Alpers at the age of 10 months. My search for more info on this disease had come up with very little. Does anyone out there know about this "uniformly fatal" disease? It caused our seemingly normal 5 month old to have seizures and suffer a significant loss of brain matter in less than four weeks. Brennan lived for three months at home after tentative diagnosis. He died in my arms peacefully on Feb.2, 1996. We have two other very healthy sons who show no signs of any problems. If any one has any info please share it with me. Thank you.
