Not usual: Bronchitis usually does not increase seizure activity. Stress, caused by an underlying infection however, may increase risk minimally. Best wishes.

Infection.....: Lowers the seizure threshold and a breakthrough seizure is more likely, best to check with your doctor to assess whether anything else may be causing seizures.
