Abstract:
Background : Febrile seizure is the most common convulsive event in children younger than 60 months, it is often recurring within the first twenty - four hours. A febrile seizure is terrifying event for parent. Different factors enhance the occurrence of seizure and one of these factors is hyponatremia which thought to be low in children with recurrent febrile convulsion. Objective : To estimate the relation and the effect of serum sodium in recurrence of febrile convulsion. Patients and method : An observational case control study conducted on (180) child between the age of 6 months and 7 years ,all patients divided in to 3 groups ;group (A) which include (60) children presented with fever without convulsion which considered control group , group B which include (60) child presented with single febrile convulsion and last group was group C which include (60) child presented with recurrent febrile convulsion .Serum sodium was estimated for all children immediately after admission to emergency . Our study carried out in Mohammed Al Mousawi pediatrics hospital in AL - Nasiriya city during the period between May to September of 2018. Result : In our current study 180 children were included with age range between (6 months to 7 years) old. Serum sodium was estimated and we compare the result between the 3 groups of study. The study involved 89 males and 91 females. The mean serum sodium in group A, B, C, were 139.45,137.09,131.95 respectively with (p value <0.001) which found to be significant value. We estimate that decrease serum sodium levels in relation with increase recurrence of febrile convulsion, also we found that hyponatremia children are 4 times more likely to develop recurrent convulsion than children with normal or elevated serum sodium. Regarding the serum calcium, random blood sugar and Tamp., there is no significant association, but family history was significantly associated with occurrence of febrile seizure. Conclusion : The current study shows significant correlation between decrease serum sodium and recurrence of febrile convulsion us serum level found to be lower in children with recurrent febrile convulsion
