ABSTRACT
Background:
Febrile seizures are the most common form of convulsive disorder in childhood. The mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of febrile seizure remain unclear.Objective:
The aim of this study was to assess the immunoglobulin (IG) sub-group levels in children with febrile seizures. Methods andMaterial:
The patients with a diagnosis of febrile seizure with an age range of 1-7 years who attended the clinic were included in the study. Neurologically normal and age- and sex-matched children with no history of febrile seizures were considered as controls.Results:
A total of 64 patients and 100 control subjects participated in this study. There were no significant inter-group differences in terms of sex and age of the participants (p >.05). There was no statistical difference between case and control groups for serum lymphocyte count, IgA, IgG, IgM, IgE levels, and anti-HB response (p >.05).Conclusion:
Our study demonstrated that there is no difference in humoral immunity between children with febrile seizures and control subjects with the same age range.Palavras-chave
