CSF VDBP level comparisons among the EBV (n = 5), enterovirus (n = 29), and VZV (n = 4) groups. The Enterovirus group (median, IQR; 1.89 μg/mL, 1.44–2.54) showed significantly lower distribution than the EBV (7.58 μg/mL, 2.93–14.79) and VZV (6.62 μg/mL, 2.72–15.10) (P = 0.022) groups. Outliers of 1.5 to 3 IQR are marked with circles, and outliers > 3 IQR are marked with squares. * Statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) according to the Kruskal-Wallis test; n.s.: not significant. Abbreviations: VDBP, vitamin D-binding protein; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; EBV, Epstein-Barr virus; ZVZ, varicella zoster virus
