Initial laboratory tests revealed mild anemia (hemoglobin 104 g/L, mean corpuscular volume 96 fL), leukocytosis (white blood cell count 14.03 × 109/L with neutrophils 53.6%, lymphocytes 39.3%), thrombocytosis (platelet count 419 × 109/L), and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP 30.7 mg/L). Here, CRP is linked to Thrombocytosis.
