dc.description.abstractAim: To determine serum iron, ferritin, folate, and vitamin B12 deficiency and associated hemoglobin (Hb),hematocrit (Hct), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and red cell distribution width (RDW) values in childrenundergoing febrile seizure, and thus to reveal their potential etiological role.Method: The serum iron, folate, vitamin B12, and ferritin, and Hb, Hct, MCV, and RDW values of 98 patientsundergoing FS and presenting to the pediatric neurology department and of 64 control patients were retrievedretrospectively and compared. Patient group data were also compared within the group.Results: Serum iron, ferritin, and vitamin B12 values were significantly lower in the patient group than in thecontrol group. Intragroup comparison revealed higher RDW values in patients with more than three FS and inthose with complicated seizures.Conclusion: This is the first study to investigate the relationship between vitamin B12, folate, and irondeficiency and FS. It should be remembered that deficiencies in these micronutrients, which are not routinelyinvestigated in patients presenting with FS, may play a role in the etiology, and that the frequency can decreasewith treatment. It should also not be forgotten that FS patients with high RDW values may be at risk of frequentseizure recurrence.en_US
