Furthermore, the differential diagnosis of SFTS was significantly associated with the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms (AUC 0.95), the absence of a skin rash (AUC 0.98), leukopenia <3.7 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L (AUC 0.95), and low CRP levels < 1.66 mg/dL (AUC 0.98) (<i>p</i> < 0.001 for each factor). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and Decreased total leukocyte count.
