fa بررسی رابطه‌ی بین سطح روی سرم وتشنج ناشی از تب در کودکان بستری دربیمارستان ولیعصر(عج) زنجان مقاله پژوهشی Original Research Article <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Background and Objective:</em></strong> Febrile seizures (FS) are the most common seizures seen in childhood with a prevalence of 2-14% in different societies. This study was carried out regarding the possibility of the relationship between serum zinc levels and occurrence of FS.<br> <strong><em>Materials and Methods:</em></strong> 117 children ranging from 6 months to 5 years were divided into four groups: FS (n=39), febrile patients with no seizures (FNS) (n=40), control group of afebrile patients with no seizures (AFNS) (n=32), and patients with seizures without fever (n=6). After completion of a questionnaire and obtaining blood, serum zinc levels were measured. Data was analyzed using SPSS software.<br> <strong><em>Results: </em></strong>The mean serum zinc levels in 39 FS patients was 75.67 mcg/dl, 40 febrile patients with no seizure had a mean serum zinc level of 87.58 mcg/dl. 32 afebrile patients with no seizure had a mean serum zinc level of 89.06 &nbsp;mcg/dl and in 6 afebrile patients with seizure; the mean serum zinc level was 96/67 mcg/dl. The serum zinc level in FS patients was significantly lower than the other groups (p=0.002 and p=0.001), whereas the 3 other groups had no significant difference (P= 0.971).<br> <strong><em>Conclusion</em></strong>: Regarding the high incidence of hypozincaemia in FS<em>, </em>low serum zinc levels may be associated with the occurrence of FS.</p> Febrile Seizures, Serum Zinc Leuel, Febrile Patients, Zanjan 17 24 http://journal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-4-563&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Mansour Sadeghzadeh منصور صادق زاده m39sadegh@yahoo.com 5200319475328460060169 5200319475328460060169 Yes Dept. of Pediatrics, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran Parisa khoshnevis Asl پریسا خوشنویس اصل 5200319475328460060170 5200319475328460060170 No Dept. of Pediatrics, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran Seyed Norodin mousavinasab سیدنورالدین موسوی نسب 5200319475328460060171 5200319475328460060171 No Dept. of Pediatrics, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran متخصص کودکان، استادیار دانشگاه علوم پزشکی زنجان Ali Koosha علی کوشا 5200319475328460060172 5200319475328460060172 No Dept. of Social Medicine, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran دکترای تخصصی آمار حیاتی، دانشیار دانشگاه علوم پزشکی زنجان Mahmoud Norouzi Pakdel محمود نوروزی پاکدل 5200319475328460060173 5200319475328460060173 No 22 Bahman Hospital, Tabriz, Iran تخصص کودکان، بیمارستان 22 بهمن تبریز
