8-OHdG and Oxidative Stress in Febrile Seizures

2026년 7월 3일 업데이트: Kayseri City Hospital

Serum 8-Hydroxy-2'-Deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and Oxidative DNA Damage in Children With Simple and Complex Febrile Seizures: An Exploratory Prospective Case-Control Study

This prospective case-control study investigates whether serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), an established biomarker of reactive oxygen species-mediated DNA oxidation, is elevated in children with febrile seizures compared with healthy children, and whether it differs between simple and complex febrile seizure subtypes. Children presenting with a febrile seizure and age-matched healthy controls have serum 8-OHdG measured within 24 hours of seizure onset, alongside routine inflammatory markers (white-cell count, C-reactive protein) and haemoglobin. The primary aim is to determine whether acute oxidative DNA damage is detectable after febrile seizures and whether 8-OHdG levels distinguish simple from complex subtypes. The study is exploratory and hypothesis-generating; it is not designed to establish 8-OHdG as a clinically applicable diagnostic biomarker.

연구 개요

상세 설명

Febrile seizures are the most common convulsive events of early childhood. Oxidative stress contributes to seizure-induced neuronal injury, but clinical data on oxidative DNA damage across febrile seizure subtypes are limited. This single-centre, prospective case-control study was conducted at the paediatric emergency department of Kayseri City Training and Research Hospital between September and December 2021.

Participants were allocated to three groups: children with a simple febrile seizure, children with a complex febrile seizure, and age- and sex-matched healthy controls. After enrolment, a single venous blood sample was obtained from each child within 24 hours of seizure onset (or at presentation for controls). Serum was separated and stored at -80 °C until analysis.

Serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was quantified by a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), with all samples measured in duplicate. Routine laboratory parameters-white-cell count, haemoglobin, and C-reactive protein-and body temperature were recorded concurrently.

Serum 8-OHdG concentrations were compared among the three groups, and the ability of 8-OHdG to discriminate febrile seizure subtypes was explored. Pre-specified subgroup analyses examined complex febrile seizure patients with versus without febrile status epilepticus, and the relationship between 8-OHdG and inflammatory markers. The analysis was framed as exploratory; the study was not powered to validate 8-OHdG as a diagnostic test.

Group 1 Health Controls
Healthy controls (afebrile) n:57 Serum 8-OHdG measurement
Single venous blood sample obtained from each participant; serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) within 24 hours of seizure onset. This was an observational measurement only; no therapeutic intervention was administered.
Group 2 SFC
Simple febrile seizure (SFC) n:50 Serum 8-OHdG measurement
Single venous blood sample obtained from each participant; serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) within 24 hours of seizure onset. This was an observational measurement only; no therapeutic intervention was administered.
Group 3 CFC
Complex febrile seizure (CFC) n:49 Serum 8-OHdG measurement
Single venous blood sample obtained from each participant; serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was measured by ELISA within 24 hours of seizure onset. The same measurement was performed in all three groups (healthy controls, simple febrile seizure, and complex febrile seizure). This was an observational measurement only; no therapeutic intervention was administered.
