Acute leukaemoid reaction following cardiac surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia is an atypical myeloproliferative disorder with a natural history of progression to acute myeloid leukaemia, a complex and poorly understood response by the bone marrow to stress. Cardiac surgery activates many inflammatory cascades and may precipitate a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. We present a case of undiagnosed chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia who developed rapidly fatal multi-organ dysfunction following cardiac surgery due to an acute leukaemoid reaction.

Extreme leucocytosis: not always leukaemia.
Three patients were analysed for an extreme leucocytosis (>50x10(9)/l) because leukaemia was suspected. In all three patients the leucocytosis proved to be caused by a leukaemoid reaction. This reaction was associated with a hepatic angiosarcoma in the first patient, with a Salmonella infection in the second patient and with a necrotic leg abscess in the third patient. Retrospectively, 25 patie...
متن کاملLeukaemoid reactions in disseminated tuberculosis.
Secondary haematological changes in tuberculosis may mimic many blood dyscrasias, including leukaemia. The appearance of primitive white cells in the peripheral blood is probably more common in disseminated than in pulmonary tuberculosis (Muller, 1943; O'Brien, 1954). The reaction may involve any cell type: myeloid reactions have been reported by Marzullo and deVeer (1931) and Custer and Crocke...

The first case of leiomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder associated with leukaemoid reaction is herein presented. There was no secondary involvement of bone marrow to explain the leukaemoid reaction. It may have been due either to tumour necrosis or to an unknown humoral substance elaborated by the tumour.
