What is Understanding Febrile Seizures in Children about?
Febrile seizures occur in children aged 6 to 60 months with a fever of 38°C or higher and are classified as simple or complex based on duration and recurrence. While simple febrile seizures are generally benign, complex seizures may have a higher long-term mortality risk and can lead to conditions like Dravet syndrome. Diagnosis typically requires a history of fever and seizure, with lumbar punctures recommended for children under 18 months to rule out meningitis.
