Present study found sever leucopenia in 2 (1.7%), mild leucopenia in 24 (20.9%) and mild
leucocytosis in 1 (0.9%) of the total studied population.
Furthermore, significant
leucocytosis and granulocytosis due to neutrophilia with a regenerative left shift, also proved indicators of the inflammatory responses immediately incited by the hydronephrotic kidney subsequent to the renal insult; whereas, moderate lymphocytosis in the initial stages, was attributed to increased lymphopoeisis subsequent to chronic antigenic or cytokine stimulation; additionally, a significantly severe thrombocytopenia observed on Day 11 was found to coincide well with the clinical evidence of a prolonged bleeding tendency after venipuncture (Stockham and Scott, 2008).
This audit found that the population coming through the ED with diarrhoeal symptoms was predominantly HIV-positive with a low [CD4.sup.+] count, and the signs and symptoms largely suggested acute episodes of infective diarrhoea leading to renal dysfunction and
leucocytosis. Nevertheless, we found that the management was for the most part inconsistent and could put the patient at risk of both antibiotic resistance, or (as is the case for the use of ciprofloxacin) antibiotic-related C.
Renal failure as
leucocytosis are frequently observed by several authors during that pathology in 25 to 50%.
Laboratory tests showed hypochromic microcytic anaemia (Hb = 8.7 g/dL, ferritin = 332.5 ng/mL, serum iron=15 mcg/dL) without
leucocytosis, hypoalbuminemia (1.84g/dL), hypokalemia (2.7 mEq/L) and hyponatremia (131 mEq/L).
Patients will complain of a sudden onset of warm, tender global swelling of the hands and/or feet that is occasionally accompanied by fever and
leucocytosis. (5)
Mean WBC count was 6164/cmm, with leucopenia seen in 33.3% and
leucocytosis in 5.12% cases.
Sweet's syndrome (Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) is a rare skin disorder characrerized by fever, neutrophilic
leucocytosis, and erythematous skin nodules.
Blood examination revealed polymorphonuclear
leucocytosis (16,000/cumm, neutrophils- 85%) but culture was sterile.
At both 4 and 18 h, DEP caused systemic inflammation characterized by
leucocytosis, increased IL-6 concentrations and reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP).
She had
leucocytosis 15.8 x109 with neutrophilia 14.14x109 and her CRP was 19 mg/L.
On investigation, there was
leucocytosis. Serology for ANA and other connective tissue markers were negative.
