Hi all,
I've come across a lab book. Basic Skills in Interpreting Laboratory Data By Mary Lee. In Google book search. Anyway on page 93 books states that a Whole 50%!! of tonic-clonic seizures are controlled with serum levels of less than 7mg/L!! Just enter "dilantin level less than 10" in google book search to see the preview page for yourself. Now I've never seen anything with these kind of stats before! The neuros seem to be obsessed with that 10-20mg/L number. Being the book is a rather new release 2008, it appears to be trustworty. My question is, can anyone confirm/support or deny these stats? Because, if 50% are controlled <7, & 10% are controlled with a level <3. That 10 number they(neuros) love so much is full of beans!!
