Laboratory work-up showed high inflammatory markers with CRP > 200 mg/L (<10 mg/L) and ESR 68/h (<10 mm/h), low white blood cell count of 5 G/L (4.5–13.5 G/L) with lymphopenia of 0.51 (1.5–6.8), low platelets of 96 G/L (150–450 G/L) and abnormal coagulation parameters with INR 1.3 (0.9–1.1) and fibrinogen of 8 g/L (1.7–4.1 g/L). Here, CRP is linked to lymphopenia.
