Febrile seizures following vaccination in children: How common are they and what is the long term clinical outcome?

接种疫苗后癫痫发作引起家长和医疗保健提供者的关注，在这项重要的研究中，我们将测量疫苗后发热癫痫发作的风险，并跟踪接种疫苗后不久发生发热癫痫的儿童，以评估他们的医疗健康和发育结果。此外，将对儿童进行检测，以确定他们是否携带与癫痫发病有关的已知基因突变之一，作为接种疫苗后癫痫发作的潜在原因。

Seizures following vaccination cause concern for both parent and healthcare providers and in this important study we will measure the risk of febile seizures after vaccines and follow up children who have had a febrile seizure shortly after receiving a vaccine to assess their medical health and developmental outcome. In addition children will be tested to see if they carry one of the known genetic mutations that is asociated with the development of seizures as a potential cause for their seizure following vaccination.
