The cases included febrile seizures in children with COVID-19 admitted to the Renji Hospital from April 7th, 2022 to June 2nd, 2022. We compared children with and without febrile seizures in their clinical characteristics such as sex, age, symptoms, seizure manifestation, COVID-19 severity, and SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test results. The children with febrile seizures were followed up by telephone and outpatient service about one month after the nucleic acid turned negative and discharged from the hospital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 585 cases of children with COVID-19 were included in the analysis. There were 15 children (1.8%) with febrile seizures, age from six months to three years old, nine boys (60.0%) and six girls (40.0%). The manifestations of febrile seizures were all generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The median nucleic acid negative conversion time was 11 (IQR:10.75,13) days. Our first comparison involved comparing children without underlying diseases; there was no significant difference in sex, COVID-19 severity, and clinical manifestations, but there was an age difference (2 vs. 1.3,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.047).
