AGUIRRE-VELAZQUEZ, Carlos et al. Clinical guideline. Febrile seizures, diagnosis and treatment. Rev. mex. neurocienc. [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.2, pp.42-48. Epub 28-Mar-2022. ISSN 2604-6180. https://doi.org/10.24875/rmn.m19000057.
Febrile seizures (FeS) are the most common problem in pediatric neurological practice. They are convulsive episodes during the course of febrile illness in the absence of epilepsy, severe hydroelectrolytic imbalance or neuroinfection. Its diagnosis is clinical and classified as simple and complex. Febrile status epilepticus occurs in approximately 5% of cases. It is convenient to teach parents how to act in a seizure and clarify that a FeS is not epilepsy, it is a benign process that usually does not leave neurological sequelae, and in which mortality is zero. In this clinical guide, we indicate risk factors for recurrence, management instructions for the first FeS, as well as criteria for hospital admission and treatment for prolonged seizures.
