Background: Febrile seizures are the most common convulsive disorder in children. There is growing evidence that vitamin D can affect gene expression and modulate various cell metabolisms. Also vitamin D may have a role in the etiology of febrile seizures. We aimed to explore vitamin D status in children with febrile seizure. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 40...

Febrile seizure is the most common seizure disorder in children. Approximately 2-5% of children will experience a febrile seizure. There are two types of febrile seizure: simple and complex. The two types vary in their characteristics and also in their prognosis. Simple febrile seizures are generally benign neurological events that carry an excellent prognosis. On the other hand, research shows...
