“…Specific viral infections, such as adenovirus, herpes simplex virus, human herpesvirus-6, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus, were associated with febrile seizures ( Lin et al, 2014 ). Rotavirus and norovirus enteritis are associated with benign convulsions in childhood ( Kim et al, 2016 ; Yorulmaz, Sert & Yilmaz, 2017 ). Furthermore, brain inflammation can be induced by the cyclooxygenase-2-induced production of prostaglandins ( Fabene et al, 2008 ; Serrano et al, 2011 ).…”

BackgroundEpidemiologic data supporting the epilepsy–asthma association are insufficient. Therefore, we examined this association in this study.MethodsBy using claims data from the National Health Insurance Research Database (Taiwan), we executed a retrospective cohort analysis. Analysis 1 entailed comparing 150,827 patients diagnosed as having incident asthma during 1996–2013 with disease-free controls who were selected randomly during the same period, frequency matched in terms of age and sex. Similarly, analysis 2 entailed comparing 25,274 patients newly diagnosed as having epilepsy with sex- and age-matched controls who were selected randomly. At the end of 2013, we evaluated in analysis 1 the epilepsy incidence and risk and evaluated in analysis 2 the asthma incidence and risk. We applied Kaplan–Meier analysis to derive plots of the proportion of asthma-free seizures.ResultsIn analysis 1, the asthma group exhibited a higher epilepsy incidence than did the control group (3.05 versus 2.26 per 1,000 person-years; adjusted hazard ratio: 1.39, 95% CI [1.33–1.45]). We also noted a greater risk of subsequent epilepsy in women and girls. In analysis 2, we determined that the asthma incidence between the control and epilepsy groups did not differ significantly; however, some age subgroups including children and individuals in their 30s had an increased risk. A negative association was found in adolescents. The Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed epilepsy to be positively associated with subsequent onset of asthma within seven years of epilepsy diagnosis.DiscussionAsthma may be associated with high epilepsy risk, and epilepsy may be associated with high asthma risk among children and individuals in their 30s. Nevertheless, people with epilepsy in other age subgroups should be aware of the possibility of developing asthma within seven years of epilepsy diagnosis.
