No fatal adverse hematologic events have been reported in humans, although anemia and leukopenia have been described in animals receiving 20 mg/kg/day.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of C-reactive protein (CRP) in predicting serious bacterial infection (SBI) in febrile children aged 3 to 36 months with extreme leukocytosis (EL), defined as a peripheral white blood cell count of 25,000 to
BACKGROUND
The postimplantation syndrome of fever and leukocytosis after endovascular repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms has not been previously characterized and its etiology is not known.

1. Fever and leukocytosis are occasionally observed in patients with psychiatric disorders. A thorough medical evaluation does not always reveal the origin of these abnormalities. 2. We report the case histories of three patients with bipolar affective disorder and an abnormal DST who had fever and
The diagnosis of bacteremia in critically ill patients is classically based on fever and/or leukocytosis. The objectives of this study were to determine 1) if our intensive care unit obtains blood cultures based on fever and/or leukocytosis over the initial 14 days of hospitalization after trauma;
Elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia may not have a systemic inflammatory response characterized by fever and leukocytosis. We compared lack of fever and leukocytosis with mortality in elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia. Patients with fever and leukocytosis (group A, 47

BACKGROUND
Infectious complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill trauma patients. Therefore, fever and leukocytosis often trigger an extensive laboratory workup that includes a urine culture (UCx). The purposes of this study were to: 1) Define the current practice
Outcomes of 65 patients after operation who had exhibited a clinical response to treatment for intra-abdominal sepsis were compared based on the presence or absence of leukocytosis and fever at the conclusion of antibiotic therapy. Fifty-one patients were afebrile when antibiotics were stopped.

Fever is a well-known side effect of quinidine therapy, but an elevated white blood cell count is considered unusual. Two patients are described who had leukocytosis or a marked left shift in the white blood cell count (or both) in association with quinidine fever. Neither patient had evidence of
A 66-year-old woman presented to the Emergency Department with a florid sepsis-like picture, a two-week history of fever, relative hypotension with end organ ischemia (unexplained liver enzyme and troponin elevations), and nonspecific constitutional symptoms. She was initially found to have a
The presence of fever and leukocytosis have traditionally been utilized as important diagnostic markers of infection despite some who question their reliability. To examine this point, the role of fever and leukocytosis as diagnostic and prognostic indicators for surgical infections was evaluated. A
