Febrile Seizures in Children: A Comprehensive Overview
Abstract: Febrile seizures, a neurological disorder marked by neuronal hyper-excitability, are frequently seen in children aged three months to five years. They are brought on by an elevated core body temperature during a fever that was brought on by an underlying systemic infection. These infections trigger an inflammatory response in the immune system, which leads to macrophages releasing cytokines. There are two categories for febrile seizures: simple and complex. Given the …
