The initial analytical profile revealed anemia with a hemoglobin level of 8.7 g/dL and elevation of inflammatory parameters (white cell count of 18.6 × 10 9 /L and C-reactive protein of 20.0 mg/ dL). Blood and urine cultures, infectious disease serology, serum protein electrophoresis and prostate-specific antigen were negative. Abdominal ultrasound performed in the urgency setting was normal.
