Laboratory findings revealed normal WBCs (10,100/μL) with neutrophilic predominance (85%), lymphopenia (1000/uL), thrombocytopenia (99,000/μL), hypoalbuminemia (3 g/dL), elevated inflammatory markers (CRP 9.7 mg/dL, interleukin-6 39.3 pg/mL, normal range <6, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 50 mm/h), coagulopathy with elevated D-dimers (3.7 mg/dL, normal range <0.5 mg/dL), and abnormal cardiac function as was reflected by elevation of troponin (hsTnI 54.1 pg/mL, reference range <11.6), and B-natriuretic peptide (BNP 643 pg/mL, reference range <100). This evidence concerns the gene NPPB and lymphopenia.
