| | eMedicine - Leukocytosis : Article by Susumu Inoue, MD |
 | | Because leukocytosis is a piece of diagnostic information based on laboratory findings and does not direct toward any prognosis or management of the condition, medicolegal pitfalls are not applicable. | | | Juvenile chronic myelocytic leukemia, currently known as chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, demonstrates leukocytosis and monocytosis with bizarre-shaped monocytes rather than neutrophilia alone. | | | Medical Care: Treatment for leukocytosis is not necessary. |

| | American Family Physician: Leukocytosis: Basics of Clinical Assessment |
| | The investigation of leukocytosis begins with an understanding of its two basic causes: (1) the appropriate response of normal bone marrow to external stimuli and (2) the effect of a primary bone marrow disorder. | | | American Family Physician: Leukocytosis: Basics of Clinical Assessment | | | Leukocytosis may also occur as a result of physical and emotional stress.(4,5) This is a transient process that is not related to marrow production or the release of band cells or other immature cells. |

| | These conditions are more accurately referred to as neutrophilia. | | | Leukocytosis is a condition that affects all types of white blood cells. | | | Leukocytosis is a condition characterized by an elevated number of white cells in the blood. |

| | Evidence-Based Practice in LTC: Fever & Leukocytosis |
| | This series will review common practices in nursing homes, comparing habitual to desired approaches, and may recommend important changes. | | | In fact, leukocytosis often reflects a favorable prognosis by signaling that the patient's bone marrow is producing WBCs in response to an infectious or inflammatory process. | | | Nor does the patient's temperature or WBC elevation indicate severity of the condition or the need for hospitalization. |

| | eMedicine - Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency : Article by Ann O'Neill Shigeoka, MD† |
| | The absence of leukocytosis distinguishes healthy infants from those with LAD. | | | Patients have leukocytosis, recurrent infections (more prominent in infants and toddlers), and severe growth and mental retardation. | | | The infections act similarly to those observed in neutropenic patients because phagocytes are unable to adhere to the endothelium and transmigrate into tissues. |

| | UpToDate Definition and mechanisms of leukocytosis and neutrophilia |
| | The causes of leukocytosis (ie, neutrophilic, lymphocytic, monocytic, eosinophilic, and basophilic) and an approach to the patient with neutrophilia are discussed separately. | | | Leukocytosis to values in excess of 50,000/µL, when due to causes other than leukemia, has been called a leukemoid reaction. | | | On the other hand, some patients have an absolute increase in one of the above WBC elements without an elevation in the total WBC count (eg, neutrophilia in a patient with lymphopenia due to AIDS). |

| | "Leukocytosis" is a pathological condition defined in Dorlands Illustrated Medical Dictionary as "a transient increase in the number of leukocytes in the blood, resulting from various causes, such as hemorrhage, fever, infection, inflammation, etc.” | | | Many health professionals are coming to the conclusion that this syndrome is an abusive scenario that puts significant stress on the pancreas, accounting for the enlarged pancreases of people in industrialized societies, and contributing to blood sugar problems such as diabetes and hypoglycemia, as well as the proliferation of chronic degenerative disease. | | | The physical existence of every human being and the existence of all other living organisms is totally dependent upon the ability of enzymes to do their job. |

| | Results in response to a disease (with or without a left shift).The degree of leukocytosis varies with species and is related to the neutrophil:leukocyte ratio (N:L). | | | Leukemia does not always manifest as leukocytosis, sometimes, the cell population is abnormal in the bone marrow,but leukocyte count is normal or even decreased in peripheral blood. | | | Release of corticosteroids produces leukocytosis characterized by neutrophilia without a left shift, lymphopenia, and eosinopenia.Monocytosis occurs inconsistentaly in the cat, cow, and the horse. |

| | These cells vary in their site of production, their duration of peripheral circulation and recirculation, and the stimuli that affect their release into and migration out of the vascular bed. | | | Occasionally, marked peripheral leukocytosis is difficult to differentiate from granulocytic leukemia due to the magnitude of both the left shift and increase in WBC. | | | Leukocytosis is an increase in the total number of circulating WBC; leukopenia is a decrease. |
