Abstract
Investigators at University-Hospital of Parma, Universities of Verona, Modena, and Bologna, Italy; and Epilepsy Clinic Las Condes, Santiago, Chile, studied facial emotion recognition ability in a group of 38 school-aged children with antecedent febrile seizures (FSs) and in an age- and sex-matched control group.
Highlights
Emotion recognition abilities may be defective in school-aged children with a history of febrile seizures (FSs), even in those with a single simple FS
Investigators at the Institute of Child Health, Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, and other centers in the UK and Europe, explore the adequacy of treatment of children with prolonged convulsive seizures occurring in school to prevent progression to status epilepticus and neurological morbidity
Already known is that medication should be given as quickly as possible, and administration of rescue medication in school depends on presence of a trained caregiver
Summary
Investigators at University-Hospital of Parma, Universities of Verona, Modena, and Bologna, Italy; and Epilepsy Clinic Las Condes, Santiago, Chile, studied facial emotion recognition ability in a group of 38 school-aged children with antecedent febrile seizures (FSs) and in an age- and sex-matched control group. Using Ekman and Friesen’s Pictures of Facial Affect, the basic innate emotions studied were happiness, sadness, fear, anger, and disgust. Children with FSs showed lower recognition scores versus controls in both matching (p
