Diagnosing Severe Falciparum Malaria in Parasitaemic African Children: A Prospective Evaluation of Plasma PfHRP2 Measurement. [PDF]
, 2012 In African children, distinguishing severe falciparum malaria from other severe febrile illnesses with coincidental Plasmodium falciparum parasitaemia is a major challenge. P. falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2) is released by mature sequestered

Forebrain-independent generation of hyperthermic convulsions in infant rats [PDF]
, 2016 Febrile seizures are the most common type of convulsive events in children. It is generally assumed that the generalization of these seizures is a result of brainstem invasion by the initial limbic seizure activity.

Genetic predisposition to febrile convulsions: a preliminary study
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 1980 The participation of genetic factors in the origin of convulsive disorders is a controversial matter. In an attempt to study the influence of heredity in a selected group of patients, we evaluated 128 subjects that presented febrile febrile convulsions ...

Viruses and febrile convulsions. [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1977 In 276 children admitted to hospital with febrile convulsions a wide range of virus types was identified by means of nasopharyngeal secretions and cough/nasal swabs. The overall virus identification rate was 49%. Analysis of age, sex, family history, and past history showed no marked differences between the virus-positive and the virus-negative ...

Genome‐Wide Insights and Polygenic Risk Scores in Common Epilepsies: A Narrative Review
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The research of single gene‐related disorders or pathogenic copy‐number variations (CNVs) has given a significant impetus to the shift from a diagnostic work‐up focused on epileptic syndromes to genomic approaches in individuals with severe pediatric‐onset epilepsies and in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.
