Further laboratory tests revealed Antinuclear Antibodies positivity (1:160, dotted score), Rheumatic Factor negativity, and confirmed the increased level of markers of inflammation: leucocytosis with neutrophilia (leukocyte count 20,030/μL, 82% neutrophils), thrombocytosis (772 platelets × 103/μl), and increased ESR, CRP, alpha2globulin and ferritin (ESR 65 mm, CRP 164 mg/l, alpha2globulin 17.8%, ferritin 267 ng/ml). Here, CRP is linked to Thrombocytosis.
