CRP and Thrombocytopenia: On the initial admission, cases also had other prominent laboratory abnormalities as compared to the survival cases (Table 1), such as neutrophilia, thrombocytopenia, elevated levels of D-dimer (D-Dimer ≥ 0.5 mg/L: 83.2% vs. 44.9%, P<0.01), C-reactive protein (CRP ≥10 mg/L: 50.4% vs. 6.0%, P<0.01), procalcitonin (PCT ≥ 0.5 ng/ml: 27.7% vs. 1.8%, P<0.01), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH ≥ 250 U/L: 73.8% vs. 20.1%, P<0.01), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST >40 U/L: 48.8% vs. 16.3%, P<0.01).
