Serum creatine kinase (CK) was determined in 52 children admitted following an episode of febrile convulsions. Enzyme levels correlated with the estimated duration of the seizure. Twenty-four hour values were significantly higher than those observed 1 hour after the convulsive episode. Serum CK levels are frequently used for diagnostic purposes, so the questionable validity of this test when drawn after a convulsive episode must be considered.
