“…According to CDC, the mortality rate of necrotising fasciitis is 24 to 34 per 100 cases, while in India it is 7 to 76 per 100 cases. In leukemoid reaction the incidence is 59 per 10000 cases [6]. Although leukemoid reaction has been reported earlier in literature [7], we report an unusal presentation of leukemoid reaction in our case report.…”

Leukemoid reaction is in general an uncommon condition with an incidence of less than 1% in hospitalized patients [3].…”

“…Em adultos, a síndrome está associada a maior taxa de morbidade e mortalidade principalmente em pacientes com idade avançada e anêmicos (13), sendo 50% dos casos relacionados a doenças infecciosas, tendo a sepse, pneumonia e infecções do trato urinário como as etiologias mais frequentes. A diarreia associada a infecção por Clostridium difficile shigelose e tuberculose também estão altamente vinculados (14,15). Em crianças, existem estudos, como o de Hoofien et al (16) que vinculam a reação leucemoide a maior probabilidade de desenvolvimento de pleuropneumonia e de maior tempo de internação frente a outros pacientes infantis sem alta no leucograma, apesar de não haver relação com o aumento da mortalidade.…”
