热性惊厥预防的必要性

The necessity for febrile seizures prevention

热性惊厥是小儿常见惊厥之一。虽然大多数热性惊厥预后良好，但热性惊厥有复发的可能性，并存在发展成癫痫等神经系统疾病的危险性。目前，对热性惊厥的预防主要包括间歇性药物预防及长期药物预防两种，热性惊厥的预防与否国内外仍普遍存在争议。该文综合国内外研究资料认为：由于热性惊厥复发的不确定性、将来发生癫痫的危险性，以及家长在处理热性惊厥上经验不足等原因，热性惊厥的预防仍是必要的。

Febrile seizures （FS） are most common seizure disorders in childhood. Although most febrile seizures do no harm, the seizures are sometimes recurrent and there is risk of causing epilepsy. There have been trails of prophylactic treatment with intermittent secondary prophylaxis and continuous secondary prophylaxis. There is still widespread dispute on the necessity for febrile seizures prevention. Because of the uncertainty of recurrence, the risk of causing epilepsy and parents＇ lacking of experience in dealing with febrile seizures, this paper proposed that the preventing of febrile seizures was still necessary.
