Laboratory tests revealed elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP) of 152 mg/L, macrocytic anemia with a hemoglobin of 6.2 g/dL and a mean corpuscular volume of 116.5 fL, neutrophilia of 14,400 μL, 23% of which were rods (3,319 μL), and thrombocytopenia of 53,000 μL. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and anemia.
