CRP and lipomatosis: The levels of haemoglobin, platelets, circulating leukocytes, the differential (lymphocytes, monocytes, nuclear neutrophils, circulating eosinophils) and CRP levels did not differ between the lipomatosis groups and the obese control group, except for the levels of circulating basophils which were significantly higher (2.4-fold) in the Dercum’s group compared with the obese group (p < 0.05).
