Low serum ferritin levels have been shown to reduce the seizure threshold. Simple FS and IDA are particularly common in children aged 6 to 60 months. In India, around 60% of children__ampersandsignrsquo;s have nutritional anaemia predominantly due to iron. Objectives: To find out any correlation between Febrile Seizure and Iron Deficiency Anemia. Method: In this hospital-based observational study, we evaluated 90 children aged 6 to 60 months in two equal groups taking fever with seizures as cases and fever without seizures as controls. The study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics__ampersandsignrsquo;, IMS __ampersandsignamp; SUM Hospital Bhubaneswar from January to June 2019. Detection of IDA was based on complete blood count, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity and serum transferrin level, which were done in all participants as a part of the routine test for the evaluation of microcytic hypochromic anaemia. Results: IDA was found in 64.4% among fever with the seizure group as compared to 28.8% in the group having a fever without a seizure. Boys outnumbered girls in the febrile seizure group. Upper respiratory tract infection mostly of viral aetiology was the most common cause of fever in both cases (51.1%) and controls (46.5%). We found 64.4% of children in the cases group had IDA as compared to 35.6% in the control group and this was statistically significant (adjusted odds ratio 4.4615, 95% CI 1.8363-10.8402, p=0.001). The Chi-Square test indicated a significant association between IDA and FS (p =0.0007). p __ampersandsignlt;0.05 was considered significant. Conclusions: In this study, there was a statistically significant correlation between IDA and simple FS.&#13;
