    Snippet: Simple clinical markers of host inflammatory responses may be WBC count with differential and CRP. These variables, even if often non-specific, give important information to the clinician and help to decide diagnosis and treatment strategy (12) . The current study suggests that acute febrile patients with recent contact history of MERS, travel history to Middle East, or working history at a hospital affected by MERS could be screened for the poss.....
    Document: Simple clinical markers of host inflammatory responses may be WBC count with differential and CRP. These variables, even if often non-specific, give important information to the clinician and help to decide diagnosis and treatment strategy (12) . The current study suggests that acute febrile patients with recent contact history of MERS, travel history to Middle East, or working history at a hospital affected by MERS could be screened for the possibility of MERS by means of initial laboratory features (e.g. monocytosis with normal WBC count). Initial CRP level was significantly lower in the case patients with MERS-CoV than in the control group without MERS, at least in the initial presentation, and it can be also helpful to predict the possibility of MERS-CoV infection.
