Abstract:ObjectiveTo study the clinical characteristics of febrile convulsion and benign convulsion in children with mild gastroenteritis.MethodsThe clinical data of 126 children with mild gastroenteritis complicated with febrile convulsion(FC group,n=61) and benign convulsion(BC group,n=65) were retrospectively analyzed,who were treated in Tangshan maternal and child health hospital from January 2017 to December 2018.The clinic characteristics of patients were analyzed and compared between two groups.ResultsThe average ages were 23 and 19.6 months respectively in BC group and FC group.The family history of febrile convulsion in FC group was significantly higher than that in BC group(37.7% vs 16.9%,P<0.05).The admission time was mainly in autumn and winter for both groups.Compared with FC group,the time from the beginning of gastrointestinal symptoms to the first convulsion seizure was significantly prolonged,with more frequent recurrence and cluster convulsions in BC group (P＜0.05,P<0.01).Compared with BC group,serum sodium and norovirus antigen decreased,and AST and WBC count increased statistically in FC group (P＜0.01).ConclusionsThere are good prognosis in both groups,even there were some differences in family history,levels of serum sodium,AST,leukocyte count,etc.Gastroenteritis with benign convulsion is more likely to recur with cluster convulsions within 24 hours after admission.Gastroenteritis with febrile convulsion may be caused by rotavirus,and mild gastroenteritis with benign convulsion may be caused by norovirus.
