Laboratory Findings

• Complete blood count and differential count - white blood cell and platelet counts are often low. Early reports indicated a tendency to relative neutrophilia and a relative lymphopenia — relative because the total number of white blood cells tends to be low.
• Raised lactate dehydrogenase
• Slightly raised creatine kinase and C-Reactive protein levels.
