Abstract
Description
Febrile seizure is the most common convulsion
disorders in children, between 3 to 60 months of age.
Child will become stiff or their arms and legs may
start to twitch with lose consciousness and may wet
or soil themselves and may also vomit and foam at
the mouth, and their eyes may roll back. The exact
cause is unknown but the high temperature usually
those greater than 38 °C (100.4 °F) can be caused by
an infection. There may also be a genetic link to
febrile seizures and the chances of having a seizure
are increased if a close family member has a history
of them. Some studies have reported that iron
deficiency could be a risk factor for febrile seizure.
The present study was conducted to compare the rate
of iron deficiency anemia in febrile children with and
without seizure.
