摘要
The first seizure in Dravet syndrome is often considered a febrile seizure (FS), but shortly thereafter, both FSs and seizures without fever occur, leading to diagnosis. Fever remains a factor that easily precipitates seizures. We studied the perception and management of fever of parents of children with Dravet syndrome.We conducted this survey using an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire.A total of 20 parents returned the questionnaire. Fever remains a trigger of seizures in 90% of patients. All parents have an accurate knowledge of fever and its management. The familial and socioprofessional impact of fever attacks appears to be very strong.Fever represents a significant concern of parents of children with Dravet syndrome. The level of parental anxiety is high in case of fever. The anxiety seems related to fear of seizure recurrence leading to significant modification of parental behavior.
