Abstract Adenosine monophosphate, inosine monophosphate, inosine, adenosine, guanosine, adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid were determined in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 15 children after complex febrile seizures (CFS) and in 27 after simple febrile seizures (SFS), and compared with those in a control group of 63 children. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups for any of these metabolites, suggesting that CFS and SFS neither significantly disturb the metabolism of nucleotides, nucleosides or bases nor significantly deplete neuron adenosine triphosphate levels.
