CRP and infection: Blood tests indicated a nonspecific inflammatory syndrome [erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) = 51 mm/h, c-reactive protein (CRP) value was slightly elevated compared to the normal value -5.2 mg/L, versus 5 mg/L, but without infection markers, without leukocytosis, and with normal serum procalcitonin levels], mild iron deficiency anemia (Fe = 56 ug/dL, Hb = 11.40 g/dL), elevated D-dimers (twice the normal value), mild cytolysis [alanine transaminase (ALT) = 93 U/L], and moderate thrombocytosis.
