There are currently multiple case descriptions on the Internet. Children over six years old had fever, were positive for COVID-19, suffered sudden loss of consciousness, convulsions, and subsequently died.

Some people define this situation as death from febrile convulsion. This may not be appropriate.

Febrile convulsions, also known as febrile convulsions, generally occur in infants and children between six months and five years old. They generally no longer occur after the age of five. The prognosis is good . The reason may be that the child's nervous system is not yet fully developed. When the body temperature increases or drops sharply, convulsions may occur, which can be relieved by itself.

Death cases after convulsions are currently circulating on the Internet. Because there is no anatomy verification, the cause of death is still unclear.

Such a rapid change in condition does not look like viral encephalitis. Before coma occurs in viral encephalitis, there are usually some signs, such as extremely high body temperature greater than 41 degrees, persistent headache and vomiting, lethargy, and epilepsy.

On the contrary, acute fever, a stress state of the body, may induce some hidden diseases, such as cerebrovascular malformation, brainstem hemorrhage or sudden cardiac death.

Therefore, for COVID-19 positive fever patients, someone still needs to observe and take care of them, and deal with problems in a timely manner.

If sudden loss of consciousness or convulsions occurs, you should pay attention to protection and do not put things in your mouth. After the convulsions end, observe whether breathing is normal. If not breathing, perform CPR and get an AED as soon as possible.

For cardiac arrest, you cannot wait for the ambulance or just send the patient to the hospital, which will not save the patient at all.

also hopes that medical institutions will investigate these sudden death cases in detail, and if necessary, clarify the cause of death through autopsy to better formulate response measures.

hopes that everyone will get through this epidemic safely and return to normal life as soon as possible.
