    While recurrent febrile seizures occur in 40% of those with a first febrile seizure, A firstdegree relative (parent or sibling) with febrile seizures  
    http://home.coqui.net/myrna/febsrz.htm
    
    Extractions: Between 4 months and 5 years of age, 2-4% of all children will have at least one febrile seizure, usually brief, generalized tonic clonic attacks. The seizures terrify parents but do not cause brain damage in the children. While recurrent febrile seizures occur in 40% of those with a first febrile seizure, subsequent epilepsy develops in only 2% to 4%. Parents witnessing a febrile seizure usually think that their child is dying. Until recently, it has not been possible to identify a group of infants at sufficiently high risk to justify counseling before they have a first febrile seizure. In a study by Bethune et al the absolute risk that a child with certain characteristics would have a first febrile seizure was calculated, and five simple factors were independently predictive: If a child hat two or more of these factors, the risk of having a first febrile seizure was calculated to be about 30%. Since only about 4% of children in the general population will have two or more of these factors, it becomes feasible to target anticipatory guidance to this small group of parents. If guidance is given, it seems important not to enhance “fever phobia” by excessive attention to control of temperature. Instead, the benign nature of febrile convulsions should be emphasized, including continued attendance at day care.

    Extractions: Febrile Seizures Salient features Generalized, nonfocal seizure with an autosomal dominant transmission. Patients are usually 6 months to 5 years of age. Always self-limited , generally after 4 to 5 minutes but may last up to 15 minutes. Little postictal phase with prompt return of baseline mental status. If postictal, drowsy, or more than one seizure, see "grand mal" below. 2% to 5% will develop a chronic seizure disorder . 48% under 15 months of age will have a recurrent febrile seizure in the future as will 30% of those over 15 months, and 45% of those with a first-degree relative with history of febrile seizures. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends against routine CT scanning, blood work, or EEG of patients with febrile seizures. Consider an LP for children under 18 months of age, and perform LP on those less than 12 months of age. Admission and work-up (CT/MRI or EEG) are indicated if there are focal signs or altered mental status since by definition these patients do not have simple febrile seizures. A metabolic workup and workup for meningitis should be done if appropriate. Finger-stick glucose should be done unless the patient is clinically normal.

    http://www.cdc.gov/nip/issues/mmr-dtp/mmr-dtp.htm
    
    Extractions: At a glance Parents concerned about the link between childhood vaccinations and seizures need not worry, according to the results of this study. The study found that children who suffered rare fever-related seizures after getting DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, and whole-cell pertussis) and MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccinations did not have an increased risk for subsequent seizures or neurodevelopmental (e.g., learning) disabilities. The study did confirm what was already known– that DTP and MMR vaccinations can temporarily increase the risk for fever-related, or what are called "febrile" seizures, in some children. Since the period covered by this study, the use of acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine has replaced DTP vaccine in the United States. DTaP has been associated with fewer side effects than DTP, including febrile seizures.

You are still welcome to make a donation or purchase Wikimedia merchandise A febrile seizure , also known as a fever fit or febrile convulsion is a generalized convulsion caused by elevated body temperature . They most commonly occur in children below the age of three years old and should not be diagnosed in children under the age of 6 months or over the age of 6 years. In many cases, the first sign of fever is the onset of the seizure. It has been theorized that the seizure is triggered by the rapidity of the rise in temperature, rather than the actual temperature reached. Febrile seizures represent the meeting point between a low seizure threshold (genetically and age determined) - some children have a greater tendency to have a seizure under certain circumstances - and a trigger: fever. The genetic causes of febrile seizures are still being researched. Some mutations that cause a neuronal hyperexcitability and could be responsible for febrile seizures have already been discovered. The diagnosis is one that must be arrived at by eliminating more serious causes of seizure : in particular

    Extractions: Patient Notes Download this Patient Note in PDF format VOL 110 / NO 2 / AUGUST 2001 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE A high body temperature sometimes causes seizures (also called convulsions) in infants and young children. These are known as febrile seizures or fever seizures. They can be very frightening, but they usually are not dangerous unless the child falls or has something in his or her mouth that could cause choking. Most febrile seizures last a minute or two, although some can be as brief as a few seconds. Seizures that last more than 10 minutes may be more serious and require medical attention. Children prone to febrile seizures are not considered to have epilepsy, which is associated with recurrent seizures that are not triggered by fever. How common are these seizures? About 1 in every 25 children will have at least one febrile seizure, and about one third of these children will have more. Febrile seizures usually occur between the ages of 6 months and 5 years and are particularly common in toddlers. Children rarely have their first febrile seizure before age 6 months or after age 3 years. The older a child is when the first seizure occurs, the lower the risk that more seizures will follow. Are these seizures harmful?

The brain's nerve cells (neurons) communicate with each other by giving off tiny electric signals. When someone has a seizure (convulsion), the way the brain's nerve cells give off signals suddenly changes, causing different muscles in the body to twitch or jerk uncontrollably.

    Extractions: From Our Sponsors A febrile (FEB-rile) seizure (SEE-zhur) is a type of convulsion. It causes your child's face or body to tighten up and jerk or twist. It is the most common type of seizure, and may last from 1 to 10 minutes. Children between 6 months and 2 years are more likely to have a febrile seizure. The seizures do not cause brain damage. Most children will not have another one. A temperature of about 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) or more. The fever may be the result of an infection. Jerking or twitching of the arms, legs or face. When a seizure starts, the child may pass out. He or she may not be aware of the jerking. The child may urinate or have a bowel movement without knowing it, or may throw up. After the seizure, the child may seem irritable, confused, or sleepy. If your child develops a fever, give a sponge bath to try to reduce the fever. The bath should be done in a warm room with warm water. Using a damp washcloth, gently rub the entire body. The child should be damp but not dripping wet. Do not use a fan or ice or cold water, and do not chill the child.
