A new syndrome of neonatal convulsions is described. Ninety cases were documented from one maternity hospital between 1973 and 1977. The appearance of this syndrome increased the annual incidence of neonatal convulsions from fewer than 3 to more than 16 per 1000 live births. Fits began on about the fifth day in apparently healthy babies. Investigations and therapeutic trials have not shown the cause. There were no deaths and all babies were discharged from hospital apparently well. The term fifth day fits is suggested with criteria for this diagnosis.
本文描述了一种新的新生儿惊厥综合征。1973年至1977年间，一家妇产医院记录了90例该综合征病例。这种综合征的出现使新生儿惊厥的年发病率从每1000例活产少于3例增加到超过16例。惊厥发作大约始于第五天，发作婴儿外表看似健康。调查和治疗试验均未找出病因。无一例死亡，所有婴儿出院时状况良好。本文提出了“第五天惊厥”这一术语，并给出了该诊断的标准。
