CRP and Increased total leukocyte count: The patient’s laboratory testing was notable for C-reactive protein (CRP) elevated at 16.82 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) (reference range 0.3–1.0 mg/dL), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) above assay limits at greater than 100 millimeters per hour (mm/hr) (l0–15 mm/hr in males, 0–20 mm/hr in females), but no leukocytosis.
