CASE PRESENTATION
A previously healthy 59-year-old female presented with
intermittent fever for 4 days. The highest temperature was
40°C. Buluofen was given at home, but fever relapsed. She
denied any history of liver diseases. She did not smoke or
have any history of alcohol or drug abuse. On physical examinations,
there were no positive signs. At our admission,
abnormal laboratory tests (2016-12-19) were
primarily shown as follows: white blood cell was 12.3 x
109/L (reference range: 3.5-9.5 x 109/L), percentage of neutrophil
was 81.9% (reference range: 40-75%), C reactive
protein was 99.4 mg/L (reference range: 0-8 mg/L), procalcitonin
was 0.378 ng/mL (reference range: 0-0.05 ng/mL),
total bilirubin was 48.88 umol/L (reference range: 5.1-22.2
umol/L), direct bilirubin was 17.2 umol/L (reference
range: 0-8.6 umol/L), aspartate aminotransferase was
111.68 U/L (reference range: 13-35 U/L), alanine aminotransferase
was 181.88 (reference range: 7-40 U/L), alkaline
phosphatase was 154.83 U/L (reference range: 35-135
U/L), gamma-glutamyl transferase was 164.91 U/L (reference
range: 7-45 U/L), albumin was 38.2 g/L (reference
range: 40-55 g/L), mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody IgM
was weakly positive, and anti-influenza virus antibody
IgM was weakly positive.
