lactic acid and Seizures, Febrile

lactic acid has been researched along with Seizures, Febrile in 7 studies

Lactic Acid: A normal intermediate in the fermentation (oxidation, metabolism) of sugar. The concentrated form is used internally to prevent gastrointestinal fermentation. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
2-hydroxypropanoic acid : A 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is propanoic acid in which one of the alpha-hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group.

Seizures, Febrile: Seizures that occur during a febrile episode. It is a common condition, affecting 2-5% of children aged 3 months to five years. An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance has been identified in some families. The majority are simple febrile seizures (generally defined as generalized onset, single seizures with a duration of less than 30 minutes). Complex febrile seizures are characterized by focal onset, duration greater than 30 minutes, and/or more than one seizure in a 24 hour period. The likelihood of developing epilepsy (i.e., a nonfebrile seizure disorder) following simple febrile seizures is low. Complex febrile seizures are associated with a moderately increased incidence of epilepsy. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p784)

"However, stress hyperglycemia is not predictive of early febrile seizure recurrence in the emergency department."1.43Children Experiencing First-Time or Prolonged Febrile Seizure Are Prone to Stress Hyperglycemia. ( Cho, HR; Kim, JH; Ko, TS; Lee, JS; Lee, JY; Ryu, JM; Yum, MS, 2016)
"One group (24 children) had brief febrile seizures and the remaining 18 children had prolonged febrile seizures."1.29Cerebrospinal fluid/serum lactic acid in Nigerian children with febrile convulsions. ( Alakija, W; Imuekemhe, SO; Obi, JO; Sykes, RM, 1996)
"Those with brief febrile seizures (30 patients) and the remaining 12 patients had prolonged febrile seizures."1.28Cerebrospinal fluid/serum lactic acid in febrile convulsions. ( Imuekemhe, SO; Obi, JO; Sykes, RM, 1989)
"Though children with febrile convulsions only have seizures in the early stage of a febrile illness and not later, these seizures have been attributed to the fever."1.28Hyperpolarization and short-circuiting as mechanisms of seizure prevention following febrile convulsions.
