Improves antibody production

Activates T-cells

Produces cytokines

Enhances neutrophil and macrophage function

Metamizole (analigine)  incidence rate of metamizole-induced agranulocytosis Metamizole was banned in Sweden in 1974, and in the United States in

1977. Since then, more than 30 countries (including Japan, Australia, Iran, and several of the European Union member nations) have followed suit. In these countries, metamizole is still occasionally used as a veterinary drug

In Germany, Hungary, Italy, Portugal and Spain it is a prescription drug. In other countries including Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Egypt, India, Israel, the

Republic of Macedonia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Spain, and Turkey, metamizole is still widely available over-the-counter, remains one of the most popular analgesics, and plays an important role in self-medication. For example, metamizole and metamizole-containing drugs account for 80% of OTC analgesic market in Russia, whereas ibuprofen accounts for 2.5%

non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

(ibuprofen) + chickenpox

Page 7: Febrile Seizures

also known as (Flesh-Eating Disease) Necrotising Fasciitis Associated with Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory

Drugs A case-control study conducted in Washington State and evaluating NF and

ibuprofen use, investigated the use of ibuprofen and other risk factors for NF, in the setting of primary varicella

This study suggests an association between ibuprofen use and the development of NF among children with varicella, and also an association between ibuprofen use and severe complications of NF.

Febrile seizures

Dehydration

Cerebral edema

Page 10: Febrile Seizures

90% occur between 6 months and 6 years. Usually 6 mo – 5 years of age

◦ Peak occurrence is in children 18 - 24 months of age

Majority (65 to 90%) of these are simple febrile seizures

Vaccination is rarely followed by febrile convulsion and mainly after:

DTP after one day of vaccination in 6-9/100000 MMR after 8-14 day of vaccine in 25-35/100000

Page 11: Febrile Seizures

Illnesses associated with febrile seizureCommonest clinical diagnosis

Upper respiratory tract infection

Less common clinical diagnoses

Otitis media

Bronchopeumonia

Pertussis

Gastroenteritis

Measles

Exanthem subitum

Scarlet fever

Page 12: Febrile Seizures

In most cases it is generalized tonic clonic convulsion.

Febrile convulsion is divided into three main groups based on symptoms of the seizure:

Simple febrile convulsion Complex febrile convulsion Febrile status epilepticus.

Page 13: Febrile Seizures

Simple febrile seizure ◦ Lasts less than 15

minutes◦ Occurs once in a 24-hour

period Generalized Focal◦ No previous neurologic

problems

Complex febrile seizure◦ Lasts 15 minutes or

longer◦ Occurs more than once

in a 24-hour period◦ Patient has known

neurologic problems, such as cerebral palsy

Page 16: Febrile Seizures

The prevalence of meningitis among patients with febrile seizures was 1-2%

◦ The absence of any remarkable findings on the history or physical examination makes bacterial meningitismeningitis unlikely as the cause of the fever and seizure

Page 17: Febrile Seizures

Strongly admit for lumbar puncture or treatment if any of the following factors present:1. Age under 18 months (may have meningitis

with no signs).2. If signs of meningitis present.3. Child is toxic.4. Current treatment with antibiotics because

may mask meningeal signs5. Complex convulsion6. Parents wish (anxious)

Page 18: Febrile Seizures

Current guidelines do not recommend the use of continuous or intermittent therapy with neuroleptics or benzodiazepines after a simple febrile seizure

No medication has been shown to reduce the risk of an afebrile seizure after a simple febrile seizure

Page 19: Febrile Seizures

Control fever by antipyretics (paracetamole or ibubrufen) + cold compressors.

Rectal diazepam rarely need to abort febrile convulsion because convulsion most of the time is short in duration but prolonged give it.

Page 20: Febrile Seizures

Pre-hospital, rectal diazepam (a single dose of 0.5 mg per kg for children two to five years of age)

Page 21: Febrile Seizures

diazepam (0.2 to 0.5 mg per kg of weight intravenously every 15 minutes for a cumulative dosage of 5 mg in children 1 month – 5 years of age) often is effective

Lorazepam (0.1 mg per kg up to 4 mg) is another intravenous medication, and it has a longer duration of action compared with diazepam

This is an excess accumulation of water in the intra- and/or extra cellular spaces of the brain.

Page 24: Febrile Seizures

Clinical signs of cerebral oedema begin to Clinical signs of cerebral oedema begin to appear when the intracranial pressure exceeds appear when the intracranial pressure exceeds 30mm Hg30mm Hg

Early warning signs of cerebral edema include: headache (especially new onset of headache

during treatment), irritability or altered behaviour.

Drowsiness, decreasing level of consciousness.   Abnormalities of the vital signs (bradycardia,

hypertension) and blurred disc margins are late signs. If left untreated, it can lead to death.

Page 25: Febrile Seizures

Osmotherapy

The most rapid and effective means of decreasing tissue water and brain bulk is osmotherapy

Osmotic therapy is intended to draw water out of the brain by an osmotic gradient and help to decrease blood viscosity.

Page 26: Febrile Seizures

Mannitol is the most popular osmotic agent.Mannitol is thought to decrease brain volume by decreasing overall water content, and to reduce blood volume by vasoconstriction. Mannitol may also improve cerebral perfusion by decreasing viscosity or altering red blood cell rheology. Lastly mannitol may exert a protective effect against biochemical injury.
