OBJECTIVE
Considering the recurrence of febrile seizure and costs for families, many studies have attempted to identify its risk factors. Some recent studies have reported that anemia is more common in children with febrile convulsion, whereas others have reported that iron deficiency raises the
OBJECTIVE
Seizures are the most common pediatric neurologic problem. Research of the association between iron deficiency and seizures has shown conflicting results. This study evaluates iron status of children with a first seizure attack (febrile seizure (FS) or first unprovoked afebrile seizure
OBJECTIVE
The association between iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and febrile seizures (FS) during childhood is inconclusive due to inconsistent results reported in different studies. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine an association between IDA and FS in
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
BACKGROUND
Simple febrile seizures are the commonest convulsions occuring in children and its exact pathophysiology is unknown. Among other postulated reasons anaemia has been thought to be a possible aetiology. This study was conducted to find out any relationship between anaemia and simple febrile
BACKGROUND
Febrile seizure (FS) is the most common childhood seizures which occur in 2-5% of children. Studies about association between iron deficiency and febrile seizure have shown contradictory results. The purpose of this study was to compare the iron status of children with first febrile
During the course of investigation of two infants with seizure disorders it was discovered that both had been given large amounts of a preparation of borax and honey which resulted in chronic borate intoxication. In one child a profound anemia developed as well. The symptoms of chronic borate
Ehrlichia canis infection was diagnosed in a dog with a history of seizures and nonregenerative anemia. Serologic titer to E canis was greater than 1:100. Evaluation of CSF revealed a high cell count, high protein concentration, and a positive Pandy test result. Several mononuclear leukocytes in the
A 20-year-old black man with known sickle cell anemia was admitted to the hospital with the signs and symptoms of right middle lobe pneumonia. Because of a hemoglobin value of 3.9 g/dL, he received a transfusion of 3 units of packed erythrocytes. Seven days later, hypertension, headache, and one
OBJECTIVE
Febrile convulsion (FC) is a common cause of seizure in young children, with an excellent prognosis. In addition to genetic predisposition, FCs are generally thought to be induced by elemental changes such as iron deficiency. Regarding the high prevalence of febrile seizure and iron
Controversy exists regarding the association between Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), iron status, and Febrile Convulsion (FC) during childhood. In this article, a systematic review and meta-analysis is conducted in order to determine possible association and the degree of association between these
UNASSIGNED
Febrile seizure is the most common seizure disorder in childhood. Anemia or failure to thrive can predispose children to febrile seizure by affecting the nervous system function. The current study investigated the association between febrile seizures and anemia or failure to
OBJECTIVE
To find the association between iron deficiency anemia and febrile convulsions among children presenting at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi.
METHODS
Case control study.
METHODS
Paediatric Department of the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from January 2001 to December
Recent linkage studies located genes responsible for the low voltage EEG, benign neonatal convulsions and for the Fanconi anaemia to the vicinity of the VNTR marker CMM6 (D20S19). Physical mapping experiments using pulsefield electrophoresis in the distal part of chromosome 20q were chosen as a
Objective Different studies have reported contradictory results regarding the relationship between iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and febrile seizure (FS). The present study was conducted to determine the effect of IDA on FS in children. Patients and methods This case-control study was conducted among
