A prospective case-control study was conducted in a major tertiary care hospital for children during June 2005 to May 2006 on children aged between 3 months and 5 years to compare serum zinc levels in 38 cases of simple febrile seizure and 38 age-matched controls. The mean serum zinc levels in cases and controls were 32.17 and 87.6 microg/dL, respectively. This difference was statistically significant ( P < .001). We conclude that Indian children with febrile seizure had low serum zinc levels, and zinc supplementation to reduce the incidence of febrile seizure should be investigated.
2005年6月至2006年5月期间，在一家大型儿童三级护理医院对3个月至5岁的儿童进行了一项前瞻性病例对照研究，以比较38例单纯热性惊厥患儿和38例年龄匹配的对照组儿童的血清锌水平。病例组和对照组的平均血清锌水平分别为32.17和87.6微克/分升。这种差异具有统计学意义（P <.001）。我们得出结论，印度热性惊厥患儿的血清锌水平较低，应研究补充锌以降低热性惊厥的发病率。
