Abstract

We studied 154 children admitted consecutively with their first febrile convulsion to assess the influence of the temperature on the recurrence rate of convulsions. Those with temperatures of 40°C or more were nine times less likely to have subsequent convulsions than those with temperatures of 38-38•9°C.
