Differences in iron deficiency anemia and mean platelet volume between children with simple and complex febrile seizures

The results of this study suggests that iron deficiency anemia is more frequently seen among the patients with CFS than the patients with SFS. The lower levels of MPV as an inflammatory marker, supports the idea that CFS is a brain inflammatory disease and the consequence of this inflammatory mechanism is the development of the epilepsy. Further studies are necessary to highlight the relationship between iron metabolism, inflammation and seizures.
