Introduction: Febrile seizures are a very common consultation cause in Pediatric Neurology; their appearance coincides with the period of greater prevalence of iron deficiency in the pediatric age. Objective: to evaluate the relationship between febrile seizures and iron status. Methods: a non experimental study of cases and controls in patients between 6 months and 5 years from the Services of Pediatric Neurology, Emergency, Healthy Children and External Consultation of the Hospital de Niños 'J. M de los Ríos' in Caracas, Venezuela was performed from January 2004 to September 2005. Fifty two patients were included in each group. The iron status was determined in all the patients by using as indicators: hemoglobin, hematocrit, hematologic indices and serum ferritin. Qualitative variables were expressed in percentages and the quantitative ones by using their summary measures; Student t - test and Wilcoxon Test were applied, significance of 5% level. Results: there was not a statistically significant difference among the values of hemoglobin, hematocrit and hematologic indices between cases and controls. Ferritin was lower in patients with febrile seizures and this difference was statistically significant (p=0.0005). Conclusions: patients with iron deficiency could have a greater probability for presenting febrile seizures
