Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present a three patient case series of infants who presented to the pediatric emergency department with fever, bulging anterior fontanelle (BAF), and an omicron variant COVID-19 infection. All patients had a benign course, none developed meningitis, and all had symptom resolution after two days. Considerations for neuroimaging and lumbar puncture are discussed. This case series adds to the previously published case reports of infants with COVID-19, fever and BAF and further describes a variant in the presenting symptomology of COVID-19 infection in infants under 12 months. Acute and primary care providers who treat infants should consider COVID-19 testing in patients who are well appearing, with fever and BAF.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
