Interference in HbA1c measurement: a case of electropherogram shift due to hyperleukocytosis leading to the discovery of leukemic mantle cell lymphoma [PDF]
HbA1c is a pivotal biomarker in diabetes management, reflecting long-term glycaemic control. HbA1c is often measured with capillary electrophoresis, which generally is a very precise technique, but there can be interference, especially in the case of ...

Hyperleukocytosis, leukemoid reaction caused by malignant peritoneal mesothelioma: a case report and review of literature [PDF]
Paraneoplastic leukemoid reaction (PLR)-induced hyperleukocytosis remains a critical diagnostic challenge. Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, known for its nonspecific clinical presentation, often evades early detection. We report a 75-year-old male with

Twenty Years of Therapeutic Leukocytapheresis in Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Insights From A Single Center. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy, and 5%–20% of newly diagnosed patients present with hyperleukocytosis (HL). HL, most often defined as WBC > 100 000/μL, is a hematologic emergency associated with severe complications, early mortality, and poor prognosis, requiring immediate intervention.

An Infant With Hyper IgE Syndrome Mimicking Acute Leukemia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Although infection, inflammation, and leukemia are major causes of leukocytosis, hyper IgE syndrome should be considered if eosinophilia is present. Hyper IgE syndrome may mimic acute leukemia when complicated by severe infection.

Rapid Transformation to Myeloid Blast Crisis in a Pediatric CML Patient Harboring a Complex t(7;9;22)(q11.23;q34;q11.2) Variant Translocation: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP) typically follows an indolent course. We report a highly aggressive pediatric case with a discordant presentation. A 10‐year‐old girl presented with rapidly progressive symptoms and hyperleukocytosis (WBC 448.7 × 109/L).
