Official Title: Nervous System Infections Among Patients With Febrile Seizure : Retrospective Cohort Review of Consecutive Patients Admitted in 7 Pediatric Emergency Departments in Ile-de

Brief Summary:

Few studies dealing with the risk of infectious of nervous system and the utility of lumbar puncture and of emergent neuroimaging among patients with simple febrile seizure between 3 and 11 months age and with complex seizure has been reported. None of these studies was multicentric. Recommendations about management of these children are heterogeneous.
