Background: Serum prolactin level has been used as an alternative determinant to help differentiate epileptic from non-epileptic seizures. We aimed to analyze the association between serum prolactin concentration and epileptic seizure versus febrile seizure as well as seizure duration, single versus multiple seizure attacks and time lapse between seizure onset and blood sampling. Methods: Seven...

patients and methods the study adopts a quasi-experimental research design. a total of 102 mothers of children presenting with febrile seizure and admitted to a teaching hospital in iran were equally assigned to three groups: group i received no intervention (control group), group ii received a febrile seizure information pamphlet, and group iii received the febrile seizure information pamphlet...

Febrile seizures are common in the first five years of life, and many factors that increase seizure risk have been identified. Initial evaluation should determine whether features of a complex seizure are present and identify the source of fever. Routine blood tests, neuroimaging, and electroencephalography are not recommended, and lumbar puncture is no longer recommended in patients with uncom...

BACKGROUND No studies have had sufficient size to estimate mortality in children with febrile seizures. We studied mortality after febrile seizures in a large population-based cohort of children in Denmark with up to 28 years of follow-up. METHODS We identified 1 675 643 children born in Denmark between Jan 1, 1977, and Dec 31, 2004, by linking information from nationwide registers for civil ...

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...

A cohort of 289 children with febrile convulsions who had been randomised in early childhood to either intermittent prophylaxis (diazepam at fever) or no prophylaxis (diazepam at seizures) was followed up 12 years later. The study focused on the occurrence of epilepsy and on neurological, motor, intellectual, cognitive, and scholastic achievements in the cohort. At follow up the two groups were...

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...

OBJECTIVE Febrile seizures (FS) are the most common neurological emergency in childhood. They are divided into two groups accordingly clinical features, simple febrile seizure and complex febrile seizure. Until now laboratory tests have not been used as a parameter of classification of them. The objective of this study is to estimate the usefulness of the hematogical parameters especially neutr...
