Leukocytosis is most often defined as an elevated white blood cell count greater than 11.0 × 109 per L in adults, and a relatively common finding. Normal adult levels of leucocytes 4.5 to L. It importance for clinicians be able distinguish nonmalignant from malignant conditions, differentiate between the non-malignant causes leukocytosis. Extreme leukocytosis can seen broad spectrum clinical co...

BACKGROUND Despite showing a prognostic value in general surgical patients, preoperative asymptomatic elevated white blood cell (WBC) count is not considered a risk factor for cardiac surgery. Whereas there is sporadic evidence of its value as a preoperative risk marker, it has not been looked at methodically as a specific index of outcome during cardiac surgery. Using a national database we so...

there is some evidence that leukocytosis without infection is associated with increased hospital mortality, but data in this regard are very incomplete. this study was designed to investigate the relationship between leukocytosis at the time of admission and mortality among patients hospitalized in general wards. during july to nov 2004, all deceased patients who had a white blood cell (wbc) co...

It has been reported, mainly in Japan, that hypercalcemia and leukocytosis often coexist in malignancies, especially squamous cell carcinomas (1-4). Sato and his colleagues reported that squamous cell carcinoma with hypercalcemia and leukocytosis was successfully transplanted into nude mice, which caused granulocytosis and hypercalcemia and showed both boneresorbing and colony-stimulating activ...

PURPOSE To determine the rate of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis among children presenting with status epilepticus (SE) without proven central nervous system infection. METHOD We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study of all patients aged one month to 21 years of age who were evaluated in a single pediatric emergency department (ED) for SE between 1995 and 2012. We limited our ...

background: ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction is one of the most dramatic manifestations in one of the most investigated fields in the past few decades. in this study, the prognostic value of white blood cells count in patients with myocardial infarction (mi) was investigated in a six months follow-up. methods: in this cohort study, 106 patients with mi were investigated. w...

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...
