Hundred youngsters matured a half year to 5 years were separated into two gatherings: bunch A, 50 male kids with febrile seizure, and gathering B, 50 female kids with febrile spasm. Serum zinc levels for the two gatherings were assessed by nuclear ingestion spectrophotometry(AAS). The information were dissected to look at zinc level among the two gatherings utilizing suitable measurable instruments utilizing SPSS 13

serum zinc level in febrile seizure of boys children were 54% effected and girl children were 46% effected. Mean value in male children was 68.92mcg/dl, and female children was 69.03 mcg/dl. Serum zinc level of group A & group are statistically not significant.
