Abstract

Giriş: 3 ay-6 yaş arası sağlıklı
çocuklarda ateşli hastalık dönemlerinde görülen nöbetlere febril nöbetler
(FN)denilmektedir. FN’lerin çoğunda ateş sonrası nöbet zamansal sıralaması
görülmekte iken bazı vakalarda bu durum görülmemektedir. Bu çalışmada FN’li
hastalarda ateş ve nöbetin zamansal sıralaması ve klinik ve laboratuar
bulguların bu zamansal sıralamaya etkilerinin olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır.

Yöntem: 1 Aralık 2015 ve 1 Nisan 2016
tarihleri arasında FN tanısı alan hastalar çalışmaya alındı. Ateş sonrası nöbet
zamansal sıralaması gösteren vakalar klasik FN olarak sınıflandırıldı. Ateş
sonrası nöbet zamansal sıralaması göstermeyen vakalar ise klasik olmayan FN
olarak sınıflandırıldı. Cinsiyet, yaş, boy, vücut ağırlığı, febril nöbet tipi
(basit, kompleks), daha önce geçirilmiş FN hikayesi varlığı, ailede FN hikayesi
olması, ailede epilepsi varlığı, kalitatif C-reaktif protein (CRP) ve beyaz kan
hücre (WBC) sayısından oluşan kategorik ve sayısal değişkenlerinin klasik ve
klasik olmayan FN’lere etkisi değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Hastaların %73’ü klasik, %27’si
ise klasik olmayan FN tanısı aldı. Gruplar arası karşılaştırmalarda yalnız WBC
sayısı farklı bulundu ve klasik olmayan FN grubunda anlamlı düzeyde düşüktü.
İkili lojistik regresyon analizi sonucu negatif kalitatif CRP ve düşük WBC
sayısının klasik olmayan FN’ler için anlamlı prediktörler olduğu ortaya çıktı (sırasıyla OR=1,388; 95%CI
1,051-1,834 ve OR=9,021; 95%CI 1,298-62,702).     

Sonuç: Klasik olmayan FN’lerde ateş,
pozitif CRP yanıtı ve WBC sayısı artışı gibi akut inflamatuar yanıtın
göstergeleri görülmeyebilir. Bu tarz vakalarda FN tanısı doğru olsa da tıbbi
isimlendirmeden kaynaklanan hekim ve ebeveyn iletişim sorunları
doğabilmektedir.

Abstract

Introduction:Seizures observed in febrile disease periods in healthy
children aged from 3 months to 6 years are known as febrile seizures (FS).
There is usually a chronological sequence involving seizure following fever in
most FS, but some cases may not follow this pattern. This study investigated
the chronological relation between fever and convulsion and whether clinical
and laboratory findings affect this.

Methods:Patients with FS between 1 December, 2015, and 1 April,
2016, were included in this study. Cases with a regular fever plus seizure
chronological sequence were classified as classical FS. Without a regular
chronological sequence, fever after seizure, were classified as non-classical
FS. The effect on both groups of parameters such as gender, age, height,
weight, type of FS (simple or complex), previous history of FS, family history of FS, family history of epilepsy, qualitative c-reactive protein
(CRP) and white blood cell (WBC) count were evaluated.

Results:Twenty-seven percent of FS were non-classical and 73% were
classical. Negative CRP and low WBC emerged as significant predictors of
non-classical FS at binary logistic regression (OR=1.388, 95% CI 1.051-1.834
and OR=9.021, 95% CI 1.298-62.702, respectively). Other factors such as gender,
age, height, weight, type of FS, previous history of FS, familyhistory of FS, familyhistory of epilepsyhad no effect in terms of nonclassic
FS.







Conclusions:Acute inflammatory response findings such as increased CRP,
WBC and fever may not accompany in non-classical FS. Although the diagnosis of
FS is correct in such cases, misunderstandings may occur between the physician
and parents because of the nomenclature employed.
