Recurrence of febrile seizures in the respiratory season is associated with influenza A

The Journal of Pediatrics, 2004
To investigate the association of viral infections and febrile seizures (FS).From April 1998 to April 2002, a prospective, population-based study was carried out among general practitioners to assess the incidence of FS in their practices.
