Patients with RE showed positive correlations, whereas those with SWS had negative correlations between Tmax and age at surgery. Blood WBC counts on postsurgery Days 3, 6, and 9\u201312 were higher in the HME and CD cases than in the stroke and RE cases. The percentage of blood polymorphonuclear cells (%bloodPMNs) was higher in the RE cases than in the HME, CD, and SWS cases. The RE, HME, and CD cases showed positive correlations between %bloodPMNs and age at surgery. The percentage of blood monocytes (%bloodMono) was higher in the patients with HME than in those with stroke or RE. The HME and CD cases showed negative correlations between %bloodMono and age at surgery. The CSF red blood cell counts were higher in the RE than in the CD and stroke cases. The percentage of CSF monocytes was higher in patients with CD than in those with stroke and RE. The percentage of CSF lymphocytes positively correlated with age at surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Seizure etiology and age at surgery were associated with developing fevers and altered blood and CSF values after pediatric cerebral hemispherectomy. These findings indicate that besides infections, other clinical variables have an impact on developing fevers and abnormal laboratory values posthemispherectomy. Cultures appear to be the most reliable predictor of infections.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2013.9.peds13264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,11]],"date-time":"2013-10-11T14:58:31Z","timestamp":1381503511000},"page":"595-603","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Fevers and abnormal blood and cerebrospinal fluid studies after pediatric cerebral hemispherectomy: impact of etiology and age at surgery"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Phung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Krogstad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatrics;"},{"name":"Molecular and Medical Pharmacology;"},{"name":"David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gary W.","family":"Mathern","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery,"},{"name":"Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Medicine, and"},{"name":"Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center;"},{"name":"Brain Research Institute, Mattel Children's Hospital; and"},{"name":"David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-peds13264","series-title":"Neurology","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1231","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e3182897082","article-title":"Time to pediatric epilepsy surgery is related to disease severity and nonclinical factors","volume":"80","author":"Baca","year":"2013"},{"key":"b2-peds13264","series-title":"Epilepsy Behav","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"219","DOI":"10.1016\/j.yebeh.2006.05.012","article-title":"Epileptogenesis in pediatric cortical dysplasia: the dysmature cerebral developmental hypothesis","volume":"9","author":"Cepeda","year":"2006"},{"issue":"2 Suppl Pediatrics","key":"b3-peds13264","series-title":"J Neurosurg","first-page":"125","article-title":"Cerebral hemispherectomy in pediatric patients with epilepsy: comparison of three techniques by pathological substrate in 115 patients","volume":"100","author":"Cook","year":"2004"},{"key":"b4-peds13264","series-title":"Seizure","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"340","DOI":"10.1016\/j.seizure.2006.04.004","article-title":"Postoperative fever after hemispherectomy: the role of non-infectious factors","volume":"15","author":"de Almeida","year":"2006"},{"key":"b5-peds13264","series-title":"Pediatr Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"198","DOI":"10.1159\/000055953","article-title":"Hemimegalencephaly and intractable epilepsy: complications of hemispherectomy and their correlations with the surgical technique.
