Figure 1 The peripheral blood smear showed a left shift of neutrophil nuclei, prominent toxic granulations and vacuolation in the neutrophil cytoplasm (see arrows) (Wright stain ×1000).

Figure 2 Computed tomography scan. A: Head computed tomography (CT) scan; B: Multislice CT chest scan, showing little interstitial change in the lower lung; C: An abdominal CT scan suggested cardiac dysfunction with pulmonary edema.

Figure 3 Plasma cell-free DNA concentrations. cfDNA: Cell-free DNA; HD: Day of hospitalization.

Figure 4 The bone marrow smear showed granulocyte maturation disorders. A-D: Bone marrow smear. Wright stain ×1000.
