Febrile convulsions have been defined as any convulsion associated with a fever of more than 38^oC without central nervous system infection in a child aged six months to five years. Febrile convulsions can be divided into two groups simple and complex seizures. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of febrile convulsions in Libyan children and to investigate the associated risk factors related to this type of seizure in children. 120 cases of febrile convulsions with one day - 12 years old were collected from April to August 2022. A study was conducted in the Pediatrics Hospital in Bayda City, Libya about the prevalence of febrile convulsions in children, the data collection tool was a self-designed pre-tested validated questionnaire including general information such as age, gender, family history, and admission to the hospital. In addition, data such as body temperature, recurrent convulsion attacks, the condition of hospital admission, discharge status, and the treatment in-hospital and out-hospital. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive methods. Among the 120 children, the majority of the cases were aged between two years and five years old. The gender prevalence rate in this study was 55.0% in males and 97 of the children were hospitalized due to simple febrile seizure (80.8%), 92 of the cases with no family history of febrile convulsions (75.0%) and respiratory tract infections were the main cause of febrile convulsions. In conclusion, this study indicated that respiratory tract infections are the most common cause of febrile convulsions among Libyan children, however, a large sample study is needed to support this issue in Libya.
