In case the febrile seizures are not being controlled, refer to pediatricians.

如果发热性惊厥没有得到控制，请咨询儿科医生。

And in a febrile seizure, the trigger for that neuronal activity is a fever.

而热性惊厥，就是由发热导致的神经元同时放电。

Generally speaking, febrile seizures happen more often when the fevers develop rapidly, or are higher in magnitude.

一般来说，热性惊厥在发热进展迅速时或者发高烧时更容易发生。

Febrile seizures seem to be more associated with some infections like human herpesvirus-6, which causes roseola.

热性惊厥也在某些特殊感染中更容易出现，如人疱疹病毒6型，它可导致玫瑰疹。

Genetics seems to play a role, as children whose parents had febrile seizures are more likely to also have them.

其中，遗传就是一种危险因素：因为父母如果有热性惊厥，那么他们的小孩则更容易发生。

Treatment isn't needed for most febrile seizures, because they usually stop by themselves.

大多数热性惊厥不需要治疗，因为通常能自行停止。

Febrile Seizures: Some children aged 6 months to 5 years may also have associated seizures with an episode of fever.

一些 6 个月至 5 岁的儿童也可能有伴有发烧的癫痫发作。

Febrile seizures are seizures that happen together with a fever in children.

热性惊厥是指儿童在发烧情况下伴发的惊厥。

Most febrile seizures are generalized tonic clonic seizures that cause stiffness, jerking and loss of consciousness.

大多数发热性惊厥为全身性强直-阵挛发作，可引起僵硬、抽搐和意识丧失。

A simple febrile seizure lasts for less then 15 minutes, affects the whole body, and doesn't repeat within 24 hours.

单纯性热性惊厥持续15分钟以下，影响全身，24小时内不再复发。

Thankfully, most febrile seizures resolve themselves without any treatment, and don't cause long term harm.

幸运的是，大多数热性惊厥无需任何治疗就能自行停止，也不会造成长期损伤。

In some cases anti-seizure medications can be used, but typically they're not needed in cases of simple febrile seizures.

在某些情况下可以使用抗抽搐药物，但一般情况下，单纯性热性惊厥并不需要使用这些药物。

During a febrile seizure, it's a good idea to lay a child on their side, and keep track of the time.

在发作时，最好让孩子侧卧，并记录时间。

This may greatly worry the patients and their parents, but they should be reassured that febrile seizures are mostly harmless and do not damage the brain.

这可能会让患者和他们的父母非常担心，但应该让他们放心，发热性癫痫大多是无害的，不会损害大脑。

Febrile seizures also always involve a high temperature, or fever, of above 38 degrees Celsius or 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, and they can be classified as either simple or complex.

热性惊厥也总是伴随着高烧，温度高于38摄氏度或100.4华氏度；热性惊厥可分为单纯性和复杂性。

Febrile seizures can also develop after vaccinations that really stimulate the immune system, like the measles, mumps, rubella, varicella vaccine, but the frequency is quite low and the benefits of vaccination outweigh this risk.

热性惊厥也可能在接种了刺激免疫系统的疫苗后发生，比如接种了麻疹、腮腺炎、风疹、水痘疫苗等之后，但发生频率很低，而且接种疫苗的好处肯定是大于风险的。

Oftentimes, it's important to distinguish febrile seizures from other underlying causes of fevers and seizures, like encephalitis and meningitis, which are infections of the brain and the tissue surrounding the brain.

通常，需要注意区分热性惊厥和包含发热和抽搐过程的其它潜在疾病，比如脑炎和脑膜炎，即大脑和大脑周围组织的感染性疾病。

Age seems to also be a factor, because although febrile seizures happen in children between the age of 6 month to 5 years, the majority happen in children that are 12 to 18 months of age.

年龄也是一种危险因素，因为尽管6个月到5岁的儿童都可能发生热性惊厥，但大多数是发生于12到18个月的幼儿身上。

A complex febrile seizure is one that lasts for over 15 minutes, or affects a specific part of the body which corresponds to a specific part of the brain, or one that repeats within 24 hours.

复杂性热性惊厥可持续超过15分钟，累及特定脑部区域的局灶性发作，或是24小时内再发。
