Abstract
Febrile seizure is the most common, age-dependant, benign, and fever-related convulsion of childhood. Its pathogenesis is still not clear. Fever causing febrile seizures is usually associated with viral infections, mostly upper respiratory tract infections, otitis media, tonsillitis, or urinary tract infections. The incidence of febrile convulsions during gastroenteritis is lower and gastroenteritis is thought to exert a protective feature in febril seizures. Although the most common pathogen in gastroeneritis is the rotavirus, adenovirus and small round viruses are also frequently reported. We aim to review the pathogenesis of febrile seizures and discuss vaccination in selected groups with known pathogens while discussing a patient with febrile seizures during adenovirus gastroenteritis. Key Words : Adenovirus Gastroenteritis; Febrile Seizure; Pathogenesis.
