xanthine has been researched along with Seizures, Febrile in 3 studies

7H-xanthine : An oxopurine in which the purine ring is substituted by oxo groups at positions 2 and 6 and N-7 is protonated.
9H-xanthine : An oxopurine in which the purine ring is substituted by oxo groups at positions 2 and 6 and N-9 is protonated.

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)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The authors studied specific and sensitive indicators of neuronal adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion--hypoxanthine, xanthine and uridine levels--in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of nine children during non-convulsive status epilepticus."3.67Cerebrospinal fluid nucleotide metabolites following non-convulsive status epilepticus. ( Brown, JK; Harkness, RA; Livingston, JH; McCreanor, GM, 1989)
"This suggests that simple febrile seizures neither significantly disturb the metabolism of nucleotides, nucleosides or bases, nor significantly deplete neuron adenosine triphosphate ATP levels."1.28Purine metabolites and pyrimidine bases in cerebrospinal fluid of children with simple febrile seizures. ( Camiña, F; Castro-Gago, M; Lojo, S; Rodríguez-Núñez, A; Rodríguez-Segade, S, 1991)
"The results suggest that short febrile convulsions are benign and that in the absence of risk factors for the subsequent development of epilepsy, prophylactic anticonvulsant treatment is not indicated."1.28Cerebrospinal fluid nucleotide metabolites following short febrile convulsions.
