Simple febrile seizures are the most common convulsive disorder of childhood. As bacterial infection and febrile seizures are common during early childhood, it was postulated that some association may exist between these two clinical conditions. So this research was undertaken to study the association of bacterial infection with febrile seizures in children. Material and Methods: 100 children between 6 months to 05 years of age admitted with febrile seizures were included in this study. Patients were divided into three age groups: age group 6 months to 1 years, age group more than 1 to 2 years and age group more than 2 years to 5 years. Variables including age, sex, type of seizure, associated symptoms, family history of seizure or epilepsy, past history of seizures, laboratory test including blood and urine cultures were recorded. Results: Total 15% had positive blood culture. Streptococcus pneumoniae was the most common organism in blood culture. Total 7% had positive Urine culture. E coli was found to be common organism in urine culture. Conclusion: Even though viruses form major precipitating agents for febrile convulsions, bacterial infection should be ruled out in all children presenting with febrile seizures.
