Özet

Aim: Febrile seizure (FS) is the most common type of convulsion seen in children, and the prognosis for FSs is quite good. However, families and physicians continue to be concerned about the risk of recurrences and development of epilepsy in children in the future. In this study, we aimed to determine the demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics of children with FSs and risk factors for FS recurrence and epilepsy, as well as to contribute to the accumulation of knowledge on this subject.
