Leukemoid Reaction as a Marker of Acute Surgical Pathology (a clinical case)
Keywords: leukemoid reaction, complete blood cell count, differential white blood cell count, leukocytosis, markers of inflammation, acute surgical pathology, intestinal necrosis
The most accessible method for diagnosing various pathological processes is a complete blood cell count. It can reveal, in particular, such changes in the white hematopoietic lineage as leukocytosis and leukopenia. the causes of leukocytosis are very diverse. the most dangerous among them are leukemias and leukemoid reactions. in doubtful cases, additional methods of clinical examination are counting the differential white blood cell count and determining inflammation markers. Leukemoid reactions can develop against the background of sepsis, peritonitis, oncological diseases and severe infectious processes. This article presents a clinical case of leukemoid reaction in acute surgical pathology. the high point of the event was intestinal necrosis, which was manifested by corresponding symptoms and signs and a change in the complete blood cell count. the correctness of the diagnosis was proved by rapid normalization of the patient's white blood parameters after the surgical intervention.
