ESR^s			0.006
CRP^s			0.025
PLT^s			0.0001

Values are presented as frequency (percent) or , where appropriate. SD: standard deviation. ^sDifference between KD and febrile control groups is calculated by Chi-square test or Student’s test, where appropriate, and value < 0.05 is considered as statistically significant. ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; CRP: C-reactive protein; PLT: platelet count; NE: neutrophil count; LY: lymphocyte; TP: total protein; ALB: albumin. The values were corrected values using logistic regression.
