Figure 1

AESD: acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion; CRP: C-reactive protein; FS: febrile seizures; PCT: procalcitonin; SIRS: systemic inflammatory response syndrome. PCT/CRP ratio = PCT average level (ng/mL)/CRP average level (mg/dL). Data for the FS and AESD groups are from this study; other data is from Nakanishi et al. [4].
