RESUMO
Retrospective evaluation of records pertaining to 316 children admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for febrile seizures showed a recurrence rat of 24 per cent. Age at onset of first febrile seizure, a positive family history and atypical initial seizzure were identified as risk factors for subsequent seizures. Other factors, namely abnormal pregnancy, gestational age, birthweight, neonatal problems and neurological abnormality, did not affect the chances of recurrence
