“…FS is strongly age-dependent; the peak incidence is at 18 months of age, and 85–90% of FS episodes occur before 3 years of age [ 1 , 16 ]. The incidence of seizures accompanied by fever was estimated to be 4–6% before the age of 6 months and 6% after 5 years of age [ 10 , 17 ].…”

“…Febrile seizure (FS) is defined as a seizure with fever (body temperature over 38 °C), which is not caused by central nervous system (CNS) problems, occurring in children aged between 6 and 60 months without neonatal and unprovoked seizures [ 1 ]. Fever in FS patients is commonly caused by respiratory virus (RV) infection rather than severe bacterial infection [ 2 ]; therefore, the influenza virus is one of the major pathogenic causes of FS [ 3 ].…”

“…Therefore, frequent FS has been revealed as a risk factor for GEFS. However, according to Ogino et al 2020, the number of febrile seizures in FK plus patients was not different from the FS group [10]. The risks of converting to afebrile seizures from FSs were investigated and reported to include the presence of growth retardation, familial history of epilepsy, and ongoing FSs at later ages [11].…”

“…El riesgo de desarrollar epilepsia posterior a convulsión febril no es significativamente alto comparado con la población general, no obstante hay mayor riesgo en aquellos pacientes que tienen: convulsiones febriles y neurodesarrollo anormal, convulsiones febriles focales, múltiples y prolongadas, antecedente heredofamiliar de epilepsia, primer convulsión febril en mayores de tres años, trastorno del espectro autista o aquellos que convulsionaron durante la primer hora del episodio febril. El uso de medicamentos anticonvulsivantes no ha demostrado tener efectos beneficiosos para prevenir el desarrollo de epilepsia (21,22,23).…”
