BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Accurate diagnosis of febrile seizures in children presenting after paroxysmal episodes associated with fever, is hampered by the lack of objective postictal biomarkers. The aim of our study was to investigate whether FS are associated with increased levels of serum copeptin, a robust marker of arginine vasopressin secretion. METHODS This was a prospective emergency-...
PURPOSE Febrile seizures are the commonest convulsive event in children younger than 5 years of age (incidence of 2-5%). Electroencephalography (EEG) is not indicated in the work up of simple febrile seizures. Information about its role in the assessment of complex febrile seizures (CFSs) is unclear and EEGs are frequently ordered. This study was designed to assess utility of clinical variables...
OBJECTIVE Because of geographical and periodical variation, we prompted to determine the demographic features and causative factors for febrile seizure in Rasht. MATERIALS & METHODS In this cross-sectional study, all 6-month- to 6-year-old children with the diagnosis of febrile seizure admitted to 17 Shahrivar hospital in Rasht, from August, 2009 to August, 2010 were studied. Age, sex, family...
BACKGROUND Febrile seizures are the most common form of childhood seizures. Among pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-6 is the key acute-phase cytokine. To date, only a few studies concerned the association of interleukin-6 gene polymorphisms with febrile seizures.In this study, we aimed to investigate 3 cytokine single-nucleotide polymorphisms situated at positions -174 (G/C), -572 (G/C), ...
BACKGROUND Febrile seizures are benign but so terrifying for parents that they may subsequently view their affected children as "vulnerable". Children viewed as vulnerable may be brought to medical attention more frequently. We examined subsequent hospitalizations and physician visits during a 6- to 7 1/2-year period for a group of children who had participated in a case-control study of initia...
Complex seizure characteristics in patients with a positive family history were studied to define familial phenotype subgroups of febrile seizures. A total of 51 children with one or more affected first degree relatives and 177 without an affected first degree relative were compared for history of complex characteristics of the initial febrile seizure. No difference was found in the frequency o...
Introduction This case-control study aimed to assess two single nucleotide polymorphisms of the gene encoding the GABRG2 protein - GABRG2 (3145 G>A) and GABRG2 rs 211037 Asn196Asn (C588T) - in a cohort of pediatric patients from Romania, and evaluate their possible impact on drug-resistant forms of generalized epilepsy and recurrent febrile seizures. Material and methods One hundred and fourt...
Although several genes for idiopathic epilepsies from families with simple Mendelian inheritance have been found, genes for the common idiopathic generalized epilepsies, where inheritance is complex, presently are elusive. We studied a large family with epilepsy where the two main phenotypes were childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) and febrile seizures (FS), which offered a special opportunity to ...
BACKGROUND Iron deficiency anaemia and febrile seizures are two common diseases in children worldwide as well as in our country. Iron insufficiency is known to cause neurological symptoms like behavioural changes, poor attention span and learning deficits in children. Therefore, it may also be associated with other neurological disturbances like febrile seizures in children. Objective of our ca...
