Docs, what does it mean by a "lung convulsive seizure" caused by pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Febrile Seizure: I believe "lung convulsive seizure" is a lay-term. It likely refers to a febrile seizure which is related to high body temperatures. These are usually caused by bacterial or viral infections. Pneumonia is one possible cause of a febrile seizure.
