Background: Febrile seizures (FS) are a form of acute symptomatic seizures. They occur in2% to 5% of children and are the most common form of childhood seizures. In the past, it was believed that most FS represented a form of epilepsy and that prognosis was not favorable. FS was believed to cause brain damage and subsequent epilepsy . Objective: To study the incidence of IDA in febrile convulsion(first episode) and evaluate iron deficiency anemia as a risk factor for febrile convulsion. Material And Methods: The study will be a case control prospective study conducted on all children with first febrile seizures and febrile illnesses in Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit and Pediatrics Wards of RAJENDRA Institute Of Medical Sciences,Ranchi from May 2014 to June 2015. Cases and Controls are comprised of children with FS and children with febrile illness, respectively. The blood samples from the 50 children comprising the cases and 50 children comprising the controls constituted the material for the study Results: Out of 50 childrens of Febrile Seizure, 29(58%) childrens were diagnosed having IRON DEFICIENCY Anemia. Conclusions: IDA was more frequent among children with FS than those with febrile illness alone. The result suggests that IDA may be a risk factor for FFS. Screening for IDA should be considered in children with FFS and iron supplementation shoud be given. Keyword: Febrile seizure(FS), Iron deficiency anemia(IDA)
