TT - N2 - To ascertain whether LP was justifiable in cases of first simple febrile seizure, the records of128 such patients were critically reviewed in this study. It was evident that in 90% of those who received cerebrospinal fluid examination as a routine work up, lumbar puncture could have been avoided if the definition of simple febrile seizure was adhered to and the history and clinical findings were given due consideration.
