Talk:Febrile seizure

I reverted this article all the way back to the version by Waellll111 at 04:40, 21 September 2010. The edit by Jamhour-njitwill at 18:55, 23 November 2010 somehow messed up most of the formatting for references, and the problem was never corrected after that. Also, I don't think that the information added in that revision is entirely appropriate for this article—it's a little bit off-topic, and seems to be more of a "how-to" than encyclopedic content. While I'm sure Jamhour-njitwill's intention was to be helpful, I don't think these problems can be easily corrected at this point without reverting the article. It also doesn't appear that much, if any, information has been added since then, so a revert seems appropriate. —Guido del Confuso (talk) 01:19, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OMIM, Inherited Neuronal Ion Channelopathies: New Windows on Complex Neurological Diseases <-- discussion of sodium channel mutations that have been associated with febrile seizures. --JWSchmidt (talk) 21:21, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not significant?

"Simple febrile seizures do not cause permanent brain injury; do not tend to recur frequently (children tend to outgrow them); and do not make the development of adult epilepsy significantly more likely (about 3–5%), compared with the general public (1%)."

How is 3-5% not significantly more than 1% ??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.153.95.138 (talk) 16:00, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

gastroenteritis

recent studies have shown that gastroenteritis is in fact not normally associated with febrile seizures, as in only a very small percent (around 5-7%) of patients presented with FS with underlying GE. I'd rather remove GE or rephrase "normally precipitated by a recent upper respiratory tract infection or gastroenteritis" - there are other causes, upper respiratory tract infections being at around 74%. For example, otitis media is also 7% but I don't see it here. I won't modify myself right now, but when I finish studying this subject I will do so and add my sources too. Meanwhile, this article needs revision badly. 109.102.32.73 (talk) 21:15, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
