Malignant or benign leukocytosis.
Leukocytosis, or elevated WBC count, is a commonly encountered laboratory finding. Distinguishing malignant from benign leukocytosis is a critical step in the care of a patient, which initiates a vastly different decision tree. Confirmation of the complete blood cell count and the WBC differential is the first step. Examination of the PB smear is essential to confirming the automated blood cell...
متن کاملLeukocytosis following the Intramuscular
The observations submitted in this paper record the effect of the intramuscular injection of liver extract on the total number of white cells and polymorphonuclear neutrophiles in the peripheral circulating blood of normal individuals. The stimulating effect of the oral ingestion of whole liver on the formed elements of the blood other than the red cells and the reticulocytes was first recogniz...
متن کاملEvaluation of Patients with Leukocytosis.
An elevated white blood cell count has many potential etiologies, including malignant and nonmalignant causes. It is important to use age- and pregnancy-specific normal ranges for the white blood cell count. A repeat complete blood count with peripheral smear may provide helpful information, such as types and maturity of white blood cells, uniformity of white blood cells, and toxic granulations...
متن کاملLeukocytosis in rabbits with diet-induced atherosclerosis.
In cholesterol-fed rabbits the extent of monocyte involvement in atherogenesis may be influenced by the level of circulating leukocytes during hypercholesterolemia. We characterized the leukocytosis in rabbits fed either a 0.25% or a 0.1% cholesterol-enriched diet (0.25% or 0.1% rabbits, respectively). Circulating leukocytes were elevated by 1 week of feeding, and the elevation was sustained fo...
متن کاملLeukocytosis as Prognostic Indicator of Major Injury
OBJECTIVE To test the diagnostic use of the triage white blood cell (WBC) count in differentiating major from minor injuries. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of a prospectively collected database of trauma patients 13 years of age or older at a Level I trauma center from January 2005 through December 2008. We excluded all patients with obvious life-threatening injuries requiring im...
