The initial management of simple febrile seizures.

One hundred consecutive cases of simple febrile seizures in childhood were studied. Seventeen of these children had had more than one seizure during the febrile episode, but none of the patients had a further seizure after treatment with simple antipyretic measures. Thus it appears unnecessary to give anticonvulsants to prevent early recurrence of simple febrile seizures.
