Initial labs were notable for leukocytosis (white blood cells (WBC) 16,000 x 109/L) with a left shift (69% segmented neutrophils, 5% bands), elevated CRP (16.7 mg/dL), lipase 152 U/L, and a normal lactic acid (1.6 mmol/L) (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and Increased total leukocyte count.
