A repeat CBC showed improvement, with a moderate

Laboratory findings showed
leukocytosis during the first postoperative day (WBCs 14,180/[micro]L) with WBCs up to 18,000/[micro]L during the second postoperative day; furthermore, there was an increase in CRP values.

Upon investigation patient had anaemia (Hb-5.8),
leukocytosis (TLC 26,500), differential leukocyte count showed Eosinophilia (DLC--60% Eosinophils) (Absolute eosiniphilic count--14,100).
Another possible cause of CK elevation, which is neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), was eliminated since the patient had no other symptoms such as fever or
