Objective: Febrile seizure is the most well-known issue in youth with great visualization. There are various speculations about synapses and follow component, (for example, zinc) changes in the serum, which can have a job in pathogenesis of febrile seizure.

Aim: The point of the present imminent investigative case‐control study was to decide if there was any adjustments in serum zinc level in kids with febrile spasm during seizure.

Methods: One Hundred youngsters matured a half year to 5 years were separated into two gatherings: bunch A, 50 kids with febrile seizure, and gathering B, 50 ordinary kids.

Serum zinc levels for the two gatherings were evaluated by nuclear assimilation spectrophotometry(AAS). The information were broke down to look at zinc level among the two gatherings utilizing suitable measurable instruments utilizing SPSS 13.

Findings: Serum zinc levels of groups A, and B had a mean value of 62.93 mg/l, 91.88 mg/l respectively. Serum zinc level of group A was lower than the other group (P<0.0001).

Conclusion: The serum zinc levels are diminished in youngsters with febrile seizure spasms, therefore demonstrating that zinc hardship assumes a noteworthy job in pathogenesis of febrile seizures.
