@import "../../styles/advanced.css"; Skip navigation MMR and febrile seizures Clinical bottom line MMR vaccination can produce a fever, and therefore increases the risk of a febrile seizure. The absolute risk is one or two per 1,000 doses of vaccine. Children with a personal history of febrile seizures have a higher risk, of an additional 20 per 1,000 doses of vaccine. There was no association between febrile seizure and later development of epilepsy. Reference M Vestergaard et al. MMR vaccination and febrile seizures: evaluation of susceptible subgroups and long-term prognosis. JAMA 2004 292: 351-357. Background MMR is generally well tolerated and associated with few adverse effects. It is, however, associated with an increased risk of febrile seizures, probably due to vaccine-induced fever. This study quantifies the short and long term risks. Study The study population was all children born in Denmark in the years 1991-1998. As all people born in Denmark have a unique personal identity number, and because this number can be used to link national registries, it makes for the possibility of evaluating rare events in a whole population. MMR vaccination status was obtained, together with information on febrile seizures or epilepsy on patients discharged from hospital, or seen in outpatients or emergency departments.

During a febrile seizure, a child often loses consciousness and shakes, moving limbs on both sides of the body. Less commonly, the child becomes rigid or has twitches in only a portion of the body, such as an arm or a leg, or on the right or the left side only. Most febrile seizures last a minute or two, although some can be as brief as a few seconds while others last for more than 15 minutes. The majority of children with febrile seizures have rectal temperatures greater than 102 degrees F. Most febrile seizures occur during the first day of a child's fever. Children prone to febrile seizures are not considered to have epilepsy, since epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures that are not triggered by fever. How common are febrile seizures?

Syndromes > Febrile Seizures Febrile Seizures Febrile Seizures Peak age is 18 months Occurs at 102.2 F in most Epilepsy develops in 3 percent Febrile seizures have the characteristics of an epileptic syndrome in that they involve generalized seizures, begin at a specific time, and are time limited in their effect. However, not all authorities consider them to be epilepsy. Febrile convulsions occur in children aged 3 months to 6 years whose temperatures are elevated from any cause other than a central nervous system (CNS) infection. The peak age is 18 months, with the majority of episodes occurring between 6 months and 3 years. Thirty to 40 percent of children with a single febrile convulsion experience a recurrence; 3 percent will develop epilepsy by age 7. Elevated temperature is the hallmark of febrile convulsions; 75 percent of the affected children had rectal temperatures above 39 degrees Celsius (102.2 Fahrenheit), although seizures may occur at lower levels. Brain damage is seldom a consequence of febrile seizures, and occurs only when the convulsion is prolonged.

Click here to view next page of this article Febrile Seizures Febrile seizures are the most common convulsive disorder of childhood. A febrile seizure is defined as a seizure associated with fever in infancy or early childhood (usually between 3 months and 5 years of age), without evidence of intracranial infection or other cause of febrile seizure. Febrile seizures are a benign syndrome caused primarily by genetic factors, manifest as an age-related susceptibility to seizures, which eventually is outgrown. The problem almost always resolves without sequelae. Only a small minority will develop non-febrile seizures later. Unless seizures are exceedingly long, there is no risk of brain damage. Febrile seizures occur in 2-4% of young children. Higher temperature and a history of febrile seizures in a close relative are risk factors for the development of a febrile seizure. Recurrence After the first febrile seizure, 33% of children will experience one or more recurrences, and 9% of children who have febrile seizure. The younger the child's age when the first febrile seizure occurs.

Alternative Names: Seizure - fever induced Causes, incidence, and risk factors: A febrile seizure is a generalized tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizure that occurs in some children as a response to a fever . Febrile seizures are usually associated with rapidly rising fevers, and usually occur early in the fever rather than later. The seizure may last a few seconds up to a few minutes (although short seizures are more typical). It most commonly occurs in children between the ages of 6 months and 6 years of age. Approximately 2-5% of children will have a seizure associated with fevers. However, the exact cause of febrile seizures is unknown. There is a tendency for febrile seizures to run in families. This suggest thats there are genetic factors involved. Occasionally, seizures associated with fever may be a symptom of other diseases such as poisoning

Return to Childhood Seizure e-Book Febrile seizures Martin L. Kutscher, MD; Departments of Pediatrics and Neurology, New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY. Introduction " Simple febrile seizures " last <15 minutes, are generalized, and occur only once per 24 hours. " Complex febrile seizures " last >15 minutes, have a focal onset, or occur more than once per 24 hours. " Atypical febrile seizures " differ in some other way from the above, such as a lower temperature than usual, unusual age of the child, etc. The more the seizure diverges from the classical syndrome, the better it is to call the events "seizures with fever." Such a label reminds us that we do not yet have a diagnosis. Febrile seizures should rarely be diagnosed in children who have afebrile seizures. Although usually benign, febrile seizures are very frightening to watch . It may not seem like a major deal to doctors now that the child is better and there is the backup of all of hospital equipment and staffbut the parents were likely convinced that they just witnessed the impending death of their child.

[View All Articles] Fever-Related Seizures Fever-Related Seizures A seizure, also called a convulsion, is characterized by the sudden onset of muscle spasms or changes in consciousness. Some seizures are triggered by a fever and are referred to as febrile seizures. Febrile seizures have three main characteristics: they are generally brief (lasting less than 15 minutes), occur only once during a 24-hour period, and involve both the left and right sides of the body. Seizures not fitting these three criteria may not be febrile seizures, and may be a sign of epilepsy. About 3 or 4 in every 100 children have at least one febrile seizure, most commonly when they are between 6 months and 5 years of age. Although a febrile seizure generally may not harm the child, it can be very frightening for the parents. The child may roll his eyes, stiffen, and not respond when you speak to him or her. In other cases, the child may fall to the floor and his arms and legs may twitch violently. Seizures are most likely to occur early in an illness (such as roseola, colds, gastrointestinal infection) when the fever is rising quickly. A child who has a febrile seizure generally does not have epilepsy (repeated seizures), though he or she may be at slightly higher risk of developing it than a child who has never had a febrile seizure.

Reassuringly, simple febrile seizures do not result in any brain damage or long-term intellectual consequences. Febrile seizures occur in 3% of children, mostly between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. There may be a family tendency. Although we do not know the exact cause of febrile seizures, experts suggest that it is due to immature brain wave activity in response to a sudden change of body temperature. So it is not the degree of fever, but rather the rate at which it rises that may be a trigger. The key in evaluating a child that has had a febrile seizure is making sure that it is a typical or simple febrile seizure. Simple febrile seizures have the following characteristics:

[article] Respiratory syncytial virus... [article] The flu: What you need to know to... [article] My 19 month old daughter had a febrile seizure for the first time and really scared my husband and me. I am worried now that every time she gets a fever she is going to have a seizure. So instead of trying not to be the worry wart mom and let a temperature do it's work instead of running to the doctor, I feel like the minute it hit's 99.9, I'm going to be a nervous wreck. Is there anything for me to worry about such as brain damage or possible epilepsy later in life? I would like to know the percentage's of children that have febrile seizures and then the percentage of them that end up with epilepsy. A febrile seizure is a convulsion that is brought on by having a fever. And although these seizures are felt to be for the most part benign, they can be one of the most horrifying things to witness in your child. It occurs in children in ages ranging from about 6 months of age to 5 years. It is estimated febrile seizures occur in 3-5% of children. The cause of these seizures is not known, however, it appears to be related to the rate of rise in temperature rather than the actual height of fever, itself. In other words, the child that rapidly gets a fever to 104 degrees seems to be more at risk of having a seizure than the child who arrives at this temperature more slowly. In addition, there appears to be a genetic cause as well because these seizures tend to run in families.
