Febrile Seizures: A Consensus of Their Significance, Evaluation, and Treatment

John M. Freeman MD1
 1 Baltimore

The National Institutes of Health recently convened experts from this country and abroad to present current knowledge about febrile seizures and their consequences, and about the risks and benefits of therapy. This information was presented to a panel under the chairmanship of Dr Edwin Kendig, former president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The panel consisted of both academicians and practitioners. The preceding statement represents the consensus of that panel.

The statement bears reading in its entirety, for it should influence the way that pediatricians think about the child who has had a seizure with fever, how he evaluates and treats that child, and what he tells the parents.
