Yes, this is more common on people that already have a seizure disorder such as epilepsy. Repeated infections can lower the seizure threshold. Also, antibiotics used to treat UTIs, especially fluoroquinolones, can increase seizure activity in epileptics. Fevers are sometimes present with UTIs, and fevers can also produce seizures. This is more likely in an elderly patient with diminished blood flow to the brain. If the person is unable to communicate that they are in pain due to a stroke or other reason, they also may be more likely to have a seizure.
