Abstract. "Febrile convulsions" is a term used to describe the occurrence of convulsions in children with an increase in body temperature to 38° C and above. This can occur in the age group from six months to 5 years, most often from one to one and a half years. In most cases, infections are responsible for the development of this symptom, less often it is observed as a post-vaccination reaction (after the introduction of vaccines). In general, febrile seizures are not dangerous. But it is important to show the child to the doctor to make sure that the symptom is caused by fever, and not by other diseases.
