Background: Febrile seizure is the most common type of convulsion in children. However, there are scanty data on the mechanism of its development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the venous blood gas status in children with febrile seizures and to determine whether hypocapnia secondary to hyperthermia-induced hyperventilation was associated with febrile seizures in children. Patients and methods: The study enrolled 43 individuals, twenty-two children with febrile seizures, together with 21 controls (children with febrile illness without seizures). Venous blood gases were determined in the febrile seizure group within 1 h and at 24 h after a seizure attack while, venous blood gases were measured once in the control group within 1 h after a febrile period. Results: There were significant differences in mean blood pH and Pco2 between the febrile seizure and control groups (p |
