Background: Febrile seizures are seizures that occur between the ages of 6 and 60 months with a temperature of 100.4°F or higher, that are not result of CNS infection or any metabolic imbalance and that occur in the absence of a history of prior afebrile seizures. They occur in around 2% of 5% of children and recurrence is seen in about one-third of children. Very few studies till now reported the risk factors of recurrence of febrile seizure from India. Therefore, the present study was conducted to know the risk factors associated with recurrence of febrile seizures among South Indian children. Objectives: 1. To know the incidence of recurrence of febrile seizures among children. 2. To study the risk factors of recurrent febrile seizures among children aged below 5 years. Materials and Methods: 50 children with febrile seizures were included. The study was done in the Department of Pediatrics at ASRAM, Eluru, Andhra Pradesh, India. Male and females children aged 6 months to 5 years with clinical features suggesting febrile seizures were included. Results: Among 50 children included, 22 had recurrent febrile seizures and 28 had no recurrent febrile seizures. Overall 29 children were males. Family history of febrile seizures, young age, family history of epilepsy, temperature below 102°F, less duration of fever, complex febrile seizures are found to be risk factors for recurrence. Gender and duration of febrile seizures were not associated with the recurrence. Conclusion: The current study revealed that younger age at onset of 1 st episode of seizure, lower temperature during the episode, brief duration between onset of fever and seizure episode and family history of febrile seizures were associated with recurrence of febrile seizures.
