Table 2 Distribution of age, hospitalization, CSF cell count, and CSF protein for EV negative, EV positive, and all patients (Total). All groups are further subdivided by age into adults (ADU), children (PED), and all (Total) patients. N = number of patients, 75th perc. = 75th percentile, 25th perc = 25th percentile
