چکیده

Febrile episodes accompanied by convulsions are a common pediatric condition. We present the clinical history and laboratory evaluation of a 2.5-year-old boy with a concomitant food allergy to cashew who experienced convulsions during a febrile episode after consuming cashews.  Differential diagnosis was challenging, as was identifying of the culprit food. A food challenge confirmed an allergy to cashew tree nuts.
