A fever of >39°C over 3 days referred to 39°C at least once a day and persisted for more than 3 days, with no downward trend. Nystagmus data were compared using Fisher’s exact test. NS: nervous system; FBG: fasting blood glucose; PWBC: peripheral white blood cells; CSF-WBC: cerebrospinal fluid-white blood cells; EEG: electroencephalograph; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging.
