otoneurologic examinations and ordered biochemical testing, which
included measurements of the total blood count, erythrocyte

activated partial thromboplastin time, bleeding and coagulation times,
aspartate and alanine transaminase levels, blood lipid concentrations,
thyroid function, rheumatoid factor level, and antinuclear antibody
level. 9]/L and mildly
elevated alanine transaminase at 59 U/L (normal <55 U/L), but total
and differential leukocyte counts were normal. Abnormalities in
