Findings of laboratory test were unremarkable, with a total white blood cell count of 7.16 × 10 9 /L (normal range, [5.5-11.5] × 10 9 /L), a differential cell count of 64.8% neutrophils (normal range, 40.9%-64.9%), and a hemoglobin level of 14.2 g/dL (normal range, 14.0-16.0 g/dL). The patient's medical history was noncontributory. Menstruation first occurred in this patient at 11 years of age; at admission, she was on the 3rd day of her menstrual cycle.
