Resumen
MORENO, Lizet Paola y LONDONO, Darío. Hyperleucocytosis associated with pulmonary and cerebral leukostasis in acute myeloid leukemia. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2011, vol.36, n.2, pp.90-92. ISSN 0120-2448.
Leukostasis is a complication of acute myeloid leukemia. It is associated with hyperleukocytosis and a poor prognosis. The organs primarily affected are the central nervous system and lung. The presence of pulmonary leukostasis has been associated with a lower survival rate. Its recognition can be difficult because it can mimic the presence of infections and bleeding complications associated with acute leukemia. We present the case of a patient with hyprleukocytosis with pulmonary and cerebral involvement (Acta Med Colomb 2011; 36: 90-92).
