Abstract
The occurrence of persistent neutrophilic leukocytosis above 50,000 cells/μL for reasons other than leukemia is defined as leukemoid reaction. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) should be excluded, and underlying diseases or causes should be examined, in differential diagnosis. The most commonly observed causes of leukemoid reactions are severe infections, intoxications, malignancies, severe hemorrhage, or acute hemolysis [1].
