Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the probability of bacterial meningitis presenting with a first simple febrile seizure or complex febrile seizure without any conspicuous signs of meningitis. Methods: This was a record based cross-sectional study of 564 patients of 6-24 months of age and was evaluated in a paediatric emergency department between 2007 and 2013 for their first febrile...

background febrile seizure is one of the most prevalent childhood convulsions. there are controversy about possible relation between febrile seizure and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd). the aim of this study was to find the effect of simple febrile seizure on adhd in children. materials and methods in a case-control study all children of 3-12 years old with febrile seizure refer...

objective: the aim of our study was to find the relationship of mpv (mean platelet volume) levels and platelet counts as markers of inflammation between simple and complex febrile seizures. methods: in this retrospective comparative study, we investigated the recordings of 356 children between 5 months and 6 years with diagnosis of simple and complex febrile seizure (sfs&cfs;) between march 201...

BACKGROUND Changes in levels of trace elements have been proposed to underlie febrile seizures. Particularly, low zinc levels have been proposed as related factor of febrile seizure. In this study, we investigated whether mean serum zinc levels differed between children with febrile seizure and afebrile seizure. METHODS Using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, serum zinc levels wer...

PURPOSE Electroencephalography (EEG) is frequently ordered for patients with febrile seizures despite its unclear diagnostic value. We evaluated the prevalence of abnormal EEGs, the association between clinical findings and abnormal EEGs, and the predictive value of EEG for the recurrence of febrile seizures. METHODS Data were collected on 230 children who were treated for febrile seizures at...

Febrile seizure is a common disorder between children with age of 6 month to 6 years and its recurrence is an emotional trauma for parents. Causative factors of febrile seizure have not been completely identified. In this study we determined the correlation between causative factors and probability of febrile seizure occurrence. This study was performed on 344 children factors related to febril...

Background: Febrile seizure (FS) is one of the most common neurologic disorders in children. Electrolyte imbalance especially hyponatremia may have an important role in triggering the febrile seizure. The measure of serum electrolytes will be useful in predicting the further seizure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of relative hyponatremia (RH) on the risk of recurrent febri...
