Las convulsiones febriles en ninos son un problema comun a nivel mundial, debido a las multiples patologias que pueden cursar con fiebre y desencadenar una convulsion. Un cuadro gripal con temperatura superior a 38°C puede ser suficiente para provocarlas. Consideramos indispensable conocer mas acerca de esta patologia y por ello nos propusimos profundizar e informar. Objetivo: describir las caracteristicas clinicas y sociodemograficas de los pacientes con convulsion febril. Metodologia: estudio descriptivo. Se incluyeron pacientes que consultaron a los Hospitales de San Jose e Infantil Universitario de San Jose en el periodo agosto 2007 a agosto 2009, que hubiesen presentado una primera convulsion febril. Se excluyeron aquellos con diagnostico de epilepsia, en tratamiento con anticonvulsivantes, que no presentaran fiebre o no se describiera la convulsion en la historia clinica. Resultados: de un total de 468 casos (213 HSJ + 255 HIUSJ) 147 eran de 0 a 14 anos de edad, encontrando que el 80,3% (118/147) presento convulsiones tonicoclonicas. De ellos 53,4% fueron ninas, 48,3% cursaron con convulsiones simples, 80,5% no tuvieron periodo posictal, 43,2% no presentaron ninguna comorbilidad y cuando las hubo fueron las infecciones del sistema respiratorio las mas frecuentes (23,7%). Conclusiones: se identificaron las caracteristicas clinicas y sociodemograficas de los pacientes con convulsion febril, mediante la revision de las historias clinicas, tabulacion de los datos obtenidos y comparacion de resultados.
