Correction to: World Journal of Pediatrics https://doi.org/10.1007/s12519-024-00805-2


There is an error in the abstract in the following sentence: suffered relatively more from fever, had significantly fewer symptoms (median age of 5 years compared to 8 and 10 years for clusters 1 and 2, respectively), etc. However, the medians here do not represent age, but the median number of symptoms per cluster. Therefore the text should read as: suffered relatively more from fever, had significantly fewer symptoms (median of 5 symptoms compared to 8 and 10 for clusters 1 and 2, respectively), etc.


The original article has been corrected.
