Laboratory tests showed leukocytosis of 9,400 leukocytes/[micro]L and lymphocytopenia of 12%. Chylous leaks are associated with (1) metabolic derangements secondary to severe fluid, electrolyte, and protein loss, (2) a loss of lymphocytes that results in lymphocytopenia, (3) fistula formation, (4) skin-flap necrosis, and (5) carotid artery blowout. Defects in IFN-[alpha] production occur in hairy cell leukemia (HCL), spindle cell thymoma with immunodeficiency, and in some cases of idiopathic CD4 T cell lymphocytopenia (ICL). |
