The decreased mRNA expression of METTL14 was associated with white blood cell count (WBC) and monocyte count (M), this decreased mRNA expression of ALKBH5 was associated with C‐reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil percentage (N%), lymphocyte percentage (L%), neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), complement 3 (C3), and fever, and the decreased mRNA expression of YTHDF2 was associated with L%, NLR, C3, and fever. The gene discussed is YTHDF2; the disease is Fever.
