CRP = C-reactive protein; CT = computed tomography; L/mm3 = Lymphocite/mm3; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; WBCs = white blood cells.

Variables are expressed as a percentage or median (interquartile range).

This patient underwent lung MRI, as brain MRI was necessary because the child had complicated afebrile seizures.
