The purpose of this article was to evaluate the relationship between CM and epilepsy in Gabon.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Methods:<\/jats:italic> A matched case\u2013control study was carried out on a sample of subjects aged six months to 25 years and hospitalized between 1990 and 2004 in three hospitals in Libreville, Gabon. Cases were defined as patients suffering from epilepsy and confirmed by a neurologist. Controls were defined as patients without epilepsy. The exposure of interest was CM according to WHO criteria.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> In total, 296 cases and 296 controls were included. Of these, 36 (26 cases and 10 controls) had a CM history. The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) to develop epilepsy after CM was 3.9 [95% CI: 1.7\u20138.9], p &lt; 0.001. Additional risk factors were identified: family history of epilepsy: aOR = 6.0 [95% CI: 2.6\u201314.1], p &lt; 0.0001, and febrile convulsions: aOR = 9.2 [95% CI 4.0\u201321.1], p &lt; 0.0001.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> This first case\u2013control study on that issue suggests that epilepsy\u2010related CM is an underrecognized problem. It emphasizes the need for further studies to better evaluate the role of convulsions during CM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1167.2006.00890.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,14]],"date-time":"2006-12-14T09:17:51Z","timestamp":1166087871000},"page":"2147-2153","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Cerebral Malaria and Sequelar Epilepsy: First Matched Case\u2010Control Study in Gabon"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Edgard Brice","family":"Ngoungou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean","family":"Koko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michel","family":"Druet\u2010Cabanac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yvonne","family":"Assengone\u2010Zeh\u2010Nguema","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maryl\u00e8ne Ndong","family":"Launay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edouard","family":"Engohang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martine","family":"Moubeka\u2010Mounguengui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philom\u00e8ne","family":"Kouna\u2010Ndouongo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul\u2010Marie","family":"Loembe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre\u2010Marie","family":"Preux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maryvonne","family":"Kombila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/tropej\/39.5.309"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/tropej\/39.6.350"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.29.3.297"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","first-page":"221","volume-title":"Prognosis of epilepsies","author":"Berg AT","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004703-200210000-00010"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0013-9580.2004.65103.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1993.tb00433.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/qjmed\/89.8.591"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1996.tb01035.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1475-2875-4-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0035-9203(99)90368-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","volume-title":"Applied logistic regression","author":"Hosmer D","year":"1989"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","first-page":"177","article-title":"Aspects of malaria in the hospitalized child in Gabon","volume":"57","author":"Koko J","year":"1997","journal-title":"M\u00e9decine Tropicale"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0929-693X(98)80003-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","first-page":"17","volume-title":"Actualit\u00e9 scientifique Neurologie tropicale","author":"Le Bigot P","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/118.6.1521"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199505253322102"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000054797"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","first-page":"780","article-title":"Status epilepticus in infants and children.
