    1. Complete Blood Count
    2. White Blood Cell Count
  2. Definition
    1. White Blood Cell Count over 10,000/mm3
  3. Causes: Cell line specific causes
    1. Neutrophilia (most common cause)
    2. Lymphocytosis
    3. Monocytosis
    4. Eosinophilia (rarely causes Leukocytosis)
  4. Causes: Benign Syndromes
    1. Leukemoid Reaction
      1. WBC Count exceeds 50,000
      2. Cause not involving Bone Marrow
      3. Usually due to non-malignant cause
    2. Reactive Leukocytosis
      1. Fever
      2. Focal infectious signs
      3. Normal Platelet Count and Hemoglobin
  5. Causes: Malignancy
    1. Acute Leukemia
      1. Thrombocytopenia
      2. Peripheral Smear with many immature cells (blasts)
      3. Marrow hypercellular with >30% blast cells
      4. Hyperuricemia
    2. Chronic Leukemia
      1. Normal Platelet Count and Hemoglobin
  6. Red flag signs of Bone Marrow disease
    1. Lab abnormalities
      1. Anemia
      2. Thrombocytopenia
      3. Severe Leukocytosis
        1. WBC Count >30,000/mm3 suggests marrow abnormality
        2. WBC Count >100,000/mm3 (urgent hematology consult)
    2. Recent History
      1. Serious Infection
      2. Immunosuppression
      3. Weight loss
    3. Physical Findings
      1. Lymphadenopathy
      2. Splenomegaly
      3. Hepatomegaly
      4. Bleeding, Ecchymosis, or Petechiae
      5. Lethargy
  7. Evaluation
    1. Complete Blood Count with Platelets
    2. Bone Marrow Aspiration (critical in Acute Leukemia)
    3. Labs in Acute Leukemia
      1. Serum and Urine Lysozyme level
      2. Uric Acid
      3. Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) Labs
        1. ProTime
        2. Partial Thromboplastin Time
