What are the characteristics of children with febrile seizures?

Any extracranial infection caused by the sudden high fever, May cause convulsions in children, so febrile seizures in infants period for the most common cause of seizures, the incidence rate of about 2 percent to 8 percent. A significant genetic tendency. Its pathogenesis has yet to fully appreciate. May mainly due to the brain development in infants have not yet perfect, identification and suppression of limited capacity for a weaker stimulation in the brain can also cause excitement and the proliferation of strong, resulting in nerve cells abnormal discharge, which occurred convulsion. Children of the medicine, "Chun-yang of the body, with evil, heat very rapid, very hot wind." A typical febrile seizures was particularly prevalent in the 6 months to 5 years old children, 6-year-old after rare. Children with better general health (Chun-yang of the body), rather than early disease occurs when the temperature suddenly convulsion, more common respiratory infection. A generalized convulsive seizures general, the number of small, the time is short, quick recovery, the general continued a few seconds to a few minutes, rarely more than 15 minutes, after he was stopped convulsion can be back to normal. Without the central nervous system organic diseases, nervous system abnormalities search not see signs, prognosis is good. But since then, 30% to 50% of the children with fever after a convulsion also easy, the general school-age does not recur. At the same disease process, the attack rarely more than two. If high fever and no rebate, recurrent seizures or convulsions more than sustained, should pay attention to exclude the central nervous system or other systems of serious diseases.
