	Febrile seizure (N = 50)	Control (N = 39)	Fever only with FS history (N = 12)	Afebrile seizure (N = 13)	p value
Age (months)	27.3 ± 13.2	36.3 ± 31.9	40.5 ± 32.6	95.9 ± 60.8	0.327
Sex (male/female)	26/24	20/19	8/4	7/6
BT (°C)	38.9 ± 0.5	38.6 ± 0.6	38.4 ± 0.5	36.8 ± 0.2	0.013
WBC (/μL)	10,861 ± 4,296	12,758 ± 6,023	10,642 ± 4,871	9750 ± 2,963	0.143

Data are presented as mean ± SD (standard deviation). The p value is about FS and control groups. A p value < 0.05 indicates a significant difference. Mann–Whitney U test
