Abstract

Objective: Febrile convulsion (FC) is defined as a seizure triggered by fever in children between 6 months and 5 years of age without an underlying central nervous system infection. In this study, we aimed to evaluate clinical fea- tures including demographics, laboratory findings, and causes of fever with FC duration among inpatients diagnosed and treated for FC. Methods: A total of 238 patients with the diagnosis of FC between May 2009 and May 2012 were included in the study. Demographic, clinical, and labora- tory data of the patients were analyzed. Results: One hundred and thirty nine patients (58.5%) were male and 99 (41.5%) were female, with a male/female ratio of 1.4. Mean age of the patients admitted with a first FC was 2.2 ± 1.1 years. The mean temperature of the patients measured rectally during the seizure was 38.7 ± 0.5 oC. Fe- brile convulsion was diagnosed as simple type in 198 (83.2%) and complex type in 40 (16.8%) of the patients. Thirty three (13.8%) patients developed a second seizure within 24 hours. Median convulsion duration was 2 (1-5) minutes. The most frequent fever etiology was upper respiratory tract infec- tion in 131 (55%) cases. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that benign conditions, such as upper respiratory tract infections, were common causes of FC. A conservative approach should be more appropriate in these cases.

Özet

Amaç: Febril konvülziyon (FK) altta yatan bir merkezi sinir sistemi enfeksiyo- nu olmayan 6 ay ile 5 yaş arasındaki çocuklarda ateşin tetiklediği bir nöbet olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, FK tanısı konulan ve tedavi edilen hastaların demografik özellikleri, laboratuar bulguları ve ateş sebepleri ile FK süresini içeren klinik özelliklerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Mayıs 2009 ve Mayıs 2012 tarihleri arasında FK tanısı konulan 238 hasta çalışmaya alınmıştır. Bu olguların demografik, klinik ve laboratuar verileri değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Yüz otuz dokuz hasta (%58,5) erkek ve 99u (%41,5) kız olup er- kek/kız oranı 1,4 bulunmuştur. İlk kez FK ile getirilen hastaların yaş ortalama- sının 2,2 ± 1,1 olduğu görülmüştür. Hastaların nöbet sırasında rektumdan ölçülmüş olan ortalama vücut sıcaklıkları 38,7 ± 0,5 °C bulunmuştur. Febril konvülziyonlu hastaların 198ine basit tip (%83,2) ve 40ına kompleks tip (%16,8) tanısı konulmuştur. Otuz üç (%13,8) hastada 24 saat içinde ikinci bir nöbet meydana gelmiştir. Ortanca konvülziyon süresi 2 (1-5) dakika hesap- lanmıştır. En sık ateş etiyolojisinin 131 (%55) olguda saptanan üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonları gibi benign durumların, FKnın sık nedenleri olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu nedenle bu olgularda yapıla- cak konservatif yaklaşım daha uygundur.
