Initial evaluation of patients suspected of having<unk>  should be similar to the standard evaluation for patients with an acute febrile illness and should have an emphasis on obtaining pre-treatment blood and other appropriate cultures.  When systemic<unk>  is present, abnormalities in<unk>  tests include anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis particularly in the latter stages of the disease.  Other<unk><unk>  are hyponatremia, increased BUN, elevated transaminase levels, hypoalbuminemia, and elevated troponin.  Cell cultures from the initial skin lesion, blood, CSF, or pleural fluid can identify the organism and possibly the toxins.  In injection<unk> , the typical<unk> <unk> is an inflammatory pattern with a low CRP.  A normal PT/PTT at admission does not exclude coagulopathy nor DIC.
