Abstract

Seizure with FEVER is the most common convulsive disorder among CHILDREN. This occurs in 2-4% of CHILDREN of 6 months to 5 years-old and is often associated with upper respiratory infections. Prognosis is excellent, but a few number of patients are affected with epilepsia afterward.This study is a case - control one for which CHILDREN (N= 120) of 3 months to 7 years-old with febrile convulsion hospitalized in Ilam Imam khomeini hospital were selected as the case group, meanwhile, the control group covered 120 CHILDREN hospitalized for other reasons in 2001. Questionnaires were used to gather the needed data. In case group, 58% male, 41.7 % female and in control group 47.5% male and 52.5% female were assessed.The findings implied a significant correlation between febrile convulsion and sex (p =0.092) Positive FAMILY HISTORY for convulsion without FEVER in case group was 14.2% while it was 5% in control group (significant correlation (P =0.01586).So, FAMILY HISTORY of febrile convulsion in case group was 24.2% and 6.7% in control group( significant correlation (P = 0.00017).The attack rate increased to 3.1 ( OR = 3.1). 89.2% of convulsions tonic colonic, 3.3% tonic and 7.5% focal gastroenterities. In 48.3% of patients, upper respiratory infections 43.3%, otitis media in 1.7% and vaccination in 1.7% of cases were the causes of FEVER.
