Febrile seizures account for the most common form of seizures during childhood. In total 2–5% of children who usually present with febrile seizures lie between the age group of 6 months to 5 yrs. They usually have a very good prognosis. Febrile seizures are classified into two types-simple febrile seizures and complex febrile seizure. Objectives: To establish the clinical, epidemiologic and laboratory parameters of children suffering from febrile seizures admitted to Paediatrics ward was the main objective. The study duration was 1 year. Material and Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional study. The study population was children with diagnosis of febrile seizures. The patient’s data was obtained, which was established on complete general and clinical examination, history and laboratory parameters. Results: During this study period, 150 children with febrile seizures were evaluated. The mean age of patients in our study was 26.2 ± 19.5 months. Eighty two patients (54.4%) were boys and girls accounted for Eighty eight patients (45.6%). Febrile seizures were more prevalent in the 12–24 months’ age group. This included 81 children (54%). There were very few cases that were from the age group of 36–48 months, which included only 10 children (6.75%). The average rectal temperature taken at the time of admission was recorded at 38.5 ± 0.67 °C. Conclusion: Febrile seizure is the most commonly benign disorder of the paediatric age group. It usually resolves on its own accord. Also there are rarely any sequels. In the management the most important is parental education and reassurance. Counselling about the nature of disease to the parents forms the mainstay of the disease.
