Abstract: In this single-center retrospective observational study, we report that the incidence of seizures in febrile children with COVID-19 was significantly higher in the Omicron era than in the pre-Omicron era (14.6% vs 1.7%, P < .001). One-third of the cases in the Omicron era were older than 5 years.
