Abstract
Introduction: There are some studies about possible relation between iron deficiency anemia and febrile convulsion. But these results have not shown a definite and convincing answer yet. In attention to high prevalence of anemia and febrile convulsion in children population and its importance that has a preventable nature, this study aims to further survey its possible relation.
Objective: This study was carried out to determine the relation of iron deficiency anemia with first febrile convulsion in 6 month to 5-year-old children admitted to Hefdah Shahrivar Hospital, in Rasht in 2006.
Materials & Methods: Degree of iron sufficiency parameters including Hemoglobin (HB), Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Mean Cell Hemoglobin (MCH), Plasma Ferritin, Fe and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) were prospectively measured in 200 children with first FC (FFC) and compared with 200 controls matched regarding age and sex with febrile conditions without convulsion.
Results: In our 400 participant febrile children, 233 were boys (58.2%) and 167 were girls (41.8%). Out of 200 children who had febrile convulsion, 118 were boys (59%), and 82 were girls (41%). In convulsion group mean HB (10.481.16), MCV (77.56.6), and MCH (25.32.78) were higher than control group but without any statistically significant differences. Mean Fe 58.5535.35 (P=0.003), Ferritin 100.23114.3 (P=0.005), TIBC 320.8949.4 (P=0.002), were higher in convulsive group with no statistically significant differences. From 184(46%) anemic children, 96(52.1%) were without convulsion and 88 children (47.9%) had convulsion, with no statistically significant differences regarding febrile convulsion and iron anemia and with odds ratio = 1.175 shows anemia doesn’t have any protection for FFC.
Conclusion: We found that there was no relation between iron deficiency anemia and First Febrile Convulsion.
