Low Serum Ferritin Level: A Risk Factor of Simple Febrile Seizures– A Hospital-Based Case-Control Study
Abstract:
Background: Febrile seizure (FS) is the single most common seizure type in children younger than 5 years. The age for peak incidence of febrile seizure is 14 to 18 months, which overlaps with that of iron deficiency anemia.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the association of serum ferritin and iron deficiency anaemia with simple febrile seizures.
