CRP and fasciitis: Initial laboratory values of white blood cell (WBC) count of 24.0 per mm3, hemoglobin of 13.4 g/dL, serum sodium level of 131 mEq/L, serum creatinine of 2.89 mg/dL, C-reactive protein 199 mg/L, and serum glucose of 120 mg/dL were strongly suggestive of necrotizing fasciitis based on the Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis (LRINEC) score (Table 2) [7].
