His medical history revealed that he had seizures for ten years and was been suffering from Parkinson’s disease for 3 years. On physi - cal examination he was tachypneic and febrile. Complete blood count revealed elevated white blood cell count (14200/mm3). The results of the serum biochemistry tests were within normal limits.
