Introduction: Febrile seizure is the commonest cause of seizure in children and appears mostly between 6-60 months of life. The objective of this study is to find out the prevalence of febrile seizure among hospitalized children of a tertiary centre of Nepal. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in a teaching hospital of central Nepal, from 2014 January to 2019 December. After obtaining ethical clearance from Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 2019-038), clinical and demographic data was retrieved from patient record retrospectively and reviewed for completeness and accuracy; those fulfilling the definition of febrile seizure were enrolled in the study. Convenience sampling technique was used. The data was analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences Version 25. Point estimate is done at 95% Confidence Interval and frequency and proportion was calculated. Results: Out of 4890 cases admitted during the study period, 214 (4.37%) (3.80%-4.94% at 95% Confidence Interval) children were diagnosed with febrile seizure. One hundred thirty one (62%) children had a simple febrile seizure. In majority of the cases, seizure lasted for less than 5 minutes; however, 10 (4.6%) of them presented with febrile status epilepticus, 111 (52%) children had generalised tonic seizure and upper respiratory tract infection was the commonest cause of fever. Conclusions: Prevalence of febrile seizure is significant among hospitalized children and simple febrile seizure is the commonest type. A substantial number of children present in febrile status epilepticus, even though the duration of febrile seizure is brief in most of the cases.

Clinical Problems

Background: Over one-hundred and thirty years ago a link between Down’s syndrome and thyroid disease had been proposed. The additive effects of this co-morbid condition leads to further amplification of the clinical problems in these children with Down’s syndrome. While several international studies have shown association of thyroid dysfunction with Down’s syndrome, there is paucity of available data from Bangladesh.Objective: The purpose of this study was to know the frequency of thyroid dysfunction in Down’s syndrome children below the age of 12 years in our setting and to correlate the features of Down’s syndrome with those of thyroid dysfunction.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 40 patients of Down’s syndrome admitted at Dhaka Shishu Hospital from January 2014 to March 2015. Diagnosis of Down’s syndrome was considered clinically with or without confirmation by karyotyping. Thyroid function was assessed by serum FT4 and TSH.Results: All 40 patients enrolled were below 5 years and most of them (72.5%) were within 12 months of age. Twenty-one cases were male and 19 were female. Hypothyroidism was found in 6 cases (15.0%), of which 4 (10.0%) had compensated hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism was not observed in any of the cases. There was no significant sex difference.Conclusion: Hypothyroidism was frequently associated in children with Down’s syndrome in our setting. It thus seems necessary to screen all children of Down’s syndrome for thyroid dysfunction.Bangladesh J Child Health 2015; VOL 39 (3) :123-128

And Control

Angola currently has the second mortality rate for children in the world. A cross-sectional study was performed containing 1322 random selected children of the 10288 hospitalized from December 2004 to May 2005 at the Hospital Pediátrico David Bernardino, the largest hospital in Angola and health reference centre located in the capital city of Luanda. Hospital mortality was 18% and the main causes of death were:malaria (22.4%), undernutrition (21.5%), pneumonia (11.8%), neonatal affections (9.3%) and meningitis (8.0%). Programmes must be rapidly implemented to eradicate undernutrition, improve perinatal care and control infections, especially malaria, pneumonia and meningitis.
