Laboratory testing revealed leukocytosis with a left shift, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), and mild increases in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine phosphokinase (CPK), while angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels were within normal limits (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and Increased total leukocyte count.
