Title
CLINICAL PROFILE AND ROLE OF LUMBAR PUNCTURE IN FEBRILE CONVULSION
Abstract
Background: Febrile seizure is a common and benign condition but if misdiagnosed for CNS infection then the outcome can be fatal. Objectives: To analyze the clinical profile and decide the role of lumber puncture in febrile convulsion in children. Results: This was a cross sectional study in 76 children between 6 months to 5 years admitted in department of pediatrics, NMCTH, Birgunj with first episode febrile convulsion from April 2022 to March 2023. Out of 76 children, 43 (56.58%) were male and 33 (43.42%) were female with common causes URTI 29 (38.16%), AGE 16 (21.05%), UTI 13 (17.11%), Bronchopneumonia 11(14.47%) and Meningitis 7 (9.21%). In the age group of 18 months to 60 months 16.27% of the children had meningitis, as compared to 0 % of 12- 18 months and 2.63% in 6 to 12 months. Conclusions: Based on available clinical data, routine lumbar puncture and CSF analysis is required in all cases of febrile convulsion as meningeal signs alone will not be sufficient to detect meningitis in febrile convulsions. Commonest cause of febrile convulsion was URTI and AGE.
