Our data is in line with that of Ali et al.27that the levels of CRP and WBCs were increased between hospitalized COVID‐19 patients, and more accurately throughout the second week of hospital admission, as a result of the initiation of the immune response. Moreover, elevated levels of CRP and WBCs in human blood could explain to great extent the severity of COVID‐19 infection.50 The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is COVID-19.
