A study of association between iron deficiency and febrile seizures

Background: Seizure disorder is a common neurologic condition that affects 10% of kids. Febrile seizures are in children between the ages three months and five, with risk factors including genetics, age, gender, fever, type duration seizures, family developmental history, multiple perinatal exposure to anti-retroviral medications, pre-existing abnormalities. Risk include fever-induced substances, endogenous pyrogens, cytokine network, iron deficiency, mutations associated Dravet syndrome, high temperature, neonatal discharge, creche attendance, maternal alcohol consumption, smoking during pregnancy, short time interval onset fever first seizure. Methods: The hospital's ethical committee granted permission proceed, hospitalised for other reasons were included control group. Blood indices serum ferritin compared case groups, statistical tools used evaluate differences. Serum levels should be 30 300 ng/ml men 15 0 women, low level denotes an insufficiency. Results: majority febrile simple, 6 (20%) having history. groups showed correlation haemoglobin levels, corpuscular volume, hemoglobin, levels. Six had less than micrograms per liter, 0.03% controls. Conclusions: Iron deficiency significant factor red blood cell showing lower
