Abstract:

Background: Febrile convulsion is a condition which can emotionally traumatize most parents. Inadequate knowledge regarding febrile convulsion can cause parental anxiety. This study is conducted to assess the level of parent’s knowledge, attitude and practices regarding febrile convulsion.Methods: It was a prospective questionnaire study conducted over a period of one year from January 2016 to January 2017 in Department of Paediatric of a tertiary care hospital KIMS, Bangalore. 110 children with febrile convulsion in the age group of 6 months to 5 years were enrolled.Results: Out of 110 children, 82 had single convulsion and 28 had recurrent convulsions. Mean age of onset of first febrile convulsion was 20 months. About 50 (45.45%) had experienced convulsion with one-episode of fever. Only 46 (41.8%) of parents recognized convulsion. Others interpreted convulsion as shivering (20.9%), evil effect (7.2%), excessive cry tantrum (10.9%), fainting spell (8.18%) and lethargy (20%). 88 (80%) did not carry out any intervention prior to getting the child to hospital. Effect of convulsion on parents was fear of death (82.7%), fear of epilepsy (17.3%), fear of recurrence (34.5%). 85% parents did not know that convulsion can occur due to fever. 32% thought that traditional treatment would help. Only 38% had thermometer at home and 23% knew the normal range of body temperature. Preventive measures were known to 44%.Conclusions: A higher level of understanding regarding practices was shown among higher socioeconomic and higher educational status. The efficiency of parental first aid practices can be evaluated and significant improvement can be achieved by giving adequate awareness and education.

Abstract:

An understanding of community perceptions of illness, especially disease definitions that are unique to a particular culture, is essential for developing culturally appropriate primary health care programs. Malaria is endemic in the Ibarapa District of Oyo State, Nigeria, and one of its major complications, febrile convulsions, affects nearly one-third of preschool children at least once in their lifetime. Perceptions among the local Yoruba people categorize malaria and convulsions as part of two different disease processes. Ideas of causation, severity, seasonality, and treatment are in many ways opposites. This means that parents do not perceive the dangers of convulsions when their children suffer malaria. Unfortunately the small children themselves cannot be part of the decision-making process which involves potentially toxic treatment practices. Based on an understanding of Yoruba beliefs, primary health care and health education interventions have been designed that encourage parents to take prompt action when they recognize that their child has malaria.

Abstract:

The analysis [of British trials of phenobarbitone and valproate for the prophylactic treatment of febrile convulsions] shows well how small study groups serve to exaggerate benefits of drawbacks of treatment. All the trials have been too small for paediatricians to use their findings with confidence.

Abstract:

Background: Febrile seizure (FS) is the most common type of childhood seizure disorder with a prevalence of 2-5% in children less than 5 years. Although the prognosis of febrile seizure is usually good, however, the possibility of recurrence keeps many parents and families in a state of anxiety and concerned, for years after the first seizure. Thus, intermittent prophylactic treatment might be advised in children with high risk of recurrence.Methods: The study was a prospective randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at Department of Pediatrics, Umaid Hospital, Dr S N Medical College, Jodhpur on neurologically normal children aged from 6 months to 5 years with a history of simple febrile seizures and normal electroencephalogram without any evidence of acute central nervous system infection. Subjects were randomly prescribed oral clobazam according to weight of child and placebo when they developed a febrile disease during the first 48 h of the onset of fever. Temperature reduction measures with paracetamol and tepid sponging were also advised. Patients were followed up for the frequency and time of febrile seizure recurrence, febrile episodes and side effects of drugs for 12 months.Results: Ten (3.8%) of 257 episodes in clobazam group and 38 (14.07%) episodes in placebo group had seizure recurrence (p value <0.001). The two groups were not significantly different in terms of side effects. (p >0.05).Conclusions: Intermittent oral clobazam therapy is a very effective measure in preventing recurrence of febrile seizures.

Abstract:

Convulsions triggered by fever are the most common type of seizures in childhood, and 20% to 30% of them have recurrence. The prophylactic treatment is still controversial, so we performed a systematic review to find out the effectiveness of continuous phenobarbital and intermittent diazepam compared to placebo for febrile seizure recurrence. METHOD: Only randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials were analyzed. The recurrence of febrile seizure was assessed for each drug. RESULTS: Ten eligible clinical trials were included. Febrile seizure recurrence was smaller in children treated with diazepam or phenobarbital than in placebo group. Prophylaxis with either phenobarbital or diazepam reduces recurrences of febrile seizures. The studies were clinical, methodological, and statistically heterogeneous. CONCLUSION: The effectiveness of phenobarbital and diazepam could not be demonstrated because clinical trials were heterogeneous, and the recommendation for treatment recurrence should rely upon the experience of the assistant physician yet.
