Febrile Seizure News and Research

RSS
A febrile seizure is a convulsion that can occur when a child has a fever, usually as a result of infection. The seizure often occurs during the first day of a fever, which is defined as a temperature of 101°F (38°C) or above. In some cases, a child may not have a fever when the seizure occurs, but develops one a few hours later.
