A case of appendiceal abscess presenting leukemoid reaction is reported. A seven-month-old male infant was admitted because of fever and diarrhea. Anemic conjunctiva and mild abdominal distension were the only physical findings on arrival. Progressive leukocytosis with left shift maturation was
Leukemoid reaction is a paraneoplastic phenomenon associated predominantly with solid tumours. Malignancies presenting with leukemoid reaction have a grave prognosis. It is defined as persistent neutrophil count greater than 50×103 cells/µL. We report a case of leukemoid reaction in a patient with
Early chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and leukemoid reaction (LR) sometimes show similar histological pictures. In order to assess the efficacy of immunohistochemistry in the discrimination of the two forms, twenty bone marrow (BM) trephines of patient with CML and twenty with LR were immunostained
Exceptionally excess leukocytosis or leukemoid reaction may develop in association with carcinomas of the lung and stomach. The authors describe a 72-year-old lady with FIGO stage III ovarian undifferentiated carcinoma who presented with fever and abdominal pain. Her serial WBC counts were up to
Reactive leukocytosis has been reported in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of different histologic types. On the other hand, the blastic crisis of chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) can sometimes be localized outside the bone marrow and simulate lymphoma, particularly when the blasts are of
A 48 year old lady presented with jaundice and exertional breathlesness. Her laboratory reports showed anaemia, reticulocytosis, leucocytosis, elevated Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase levels, hyperbillirubinemia and positive direct Coomb's test. After ruling out all the other
A case of lepromatous leprosy with erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) presenting as a myeloid leukemoid reaction is reported. Very high leucocyte count with immaturity of the cells in myeloid series was present in peripheral blood. High leucocyte alkaline phosphatase score, absence of
The determination of leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) is used as an aid to diagnose many diseases in the laboratory. For example, it can be used to distinguish chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) from other myeloproliferative disorders (particularly myelofibrosis and polycythemia) and leukemoid
Twenty-one patients with malignancy had a peripheral white blood cell count of 50,000/cu mm or more. The malignancies arose from several tissues, especially lung; all were carcinomas except for one osteogenic sarcoma. In no case was there evidence of leukemia as defined by disorderly marrow growth,
The rhG-CSF had specificity of stimulation proliferation and differentiation of the neutrophil lineage in which there was an increase of younger stages, the earliest was myelocyte, of granulocyte in circulation. The effect of it was demonstrated within 24 hours of administration and reduced
