“…5 On the other hand few studies, done by Batra et al India and Kimia et al USA found very low prevalence of meningitis in children with febrile seizures i.e., 2.4% and 2.7% respectively. 6,7 Some studies showed intermediate prevalence 4.7% in a study done by Ghotbi and Shiva et al and 4.5% in study done by Batajoo J et al 2,8 In this study not even a single case of meningitis presented as simple febrile seizure, whereas the prevalence of meningitis in children with atypical febrile seizures was 25.87% which is statistically significant finding (P value = 0.05). Kimia et al found that 0.86% of children who presented as first episode of simple febrile seizure, compared with 4.8% of children who presented as complex febrile seizures had meningitis.…”

“…Yakın zamanda rutin Hib ve pnömokok aşılaması uygulamaya girdikten sonra yapılan ve ilk kez komplike nöbet geçiren 526 hastayı içeren bir çalışmada, hastaların % 64'üne LP yapılmış, genel durumu iyi ve nöbet dışında nörolojik bulgusu olmayan (bilinç değişikliği, fontanel gerginliği, ense sertliği, Kernig belirtisi gibi) hastalarda ABM riskinin çok düşük olduğu bildirilmiştir (% 0,9). Ancak bu sonucun aşılama oranları düşük ve bakteriyel etkenlerin farklı olduğu bölgeler için geçerli olamayacağı vurgulanmıştır (18). Yine 6 ay-6 yaş arasında olan 390 komplike nöbetin değerlendi-rildiği bir diğer çalışmada ABM sıklığı % 1,5 bulunmuş ve tüm hastalarda nöbete ek olarak bilinç deği-şikliği olduğu bildirilmiştir.…”
