Objective?This study aimed at evaluating serum S-100B protein levels after convulsions in children experiencing simple febrile convulsions.
Material and Methods?The study included 30 healthy children as the control group and 30 patients with simple febrile convulsions as the study group. Blood samples were obtained within 2 hours after the patients sustained febrile convulsions. Serum S-100B protein levels of the patients in the study group and the control group were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits.
Results?There was no statistically significant difference between the groups, when the mean serum S-100B protein levels were compared between patients with febrile convulsions and the control group (p?>?0.05).
Conclusion?Lack of an increase in serum S-100B protein levels of patients with simple febrile convulsion suggests that febrile convulsive seizures do not cause any organ damage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
