Platelet counts, TBIL, ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, CK, α-HBDH, LDH, albumin, and coagulation time were higher in SFTS patients than in HFRS patients, whereas WBC, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts, HGB, CRP, BUN, CREA, and CK-MB, were higher in HFRS patients than in SFTS patients (P < 0.05) (Table S1; Fig. 1D). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.
