peer agreement (net): -1Lymphocytic pleocytosis Explanation: Would that be Lymphocytic pleocytosis, at 38 million cellules par litre (donc au-dessus de 5 par micro-litre)? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2019-05-29 13:57:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I stand corrected. Drmanu49 has a point since leucocytes are more than lympocytes. I just went through half a dozen papers and people use sentences combining "leucocytes" and "pleocytosis". Perhaps you should show the path, and coin the term: Leucopleocytosis ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphocytic_pleocytosis |

peer agreement (net): +2Cerebrospinal fluid leukocytosis Explanation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24019433 ormat: AbstractSend to Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2013 Nov;89(5):866-8. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.13-0281. Epub 2013 Sep 9. Prevalence and implications of cerebrospinal fluid leukocytosis in Papua New Guinean children hospitalized with severe malaria. Laman M1, Manning L, Siba PM, Davis TM. Author information 1 School of Medicine and Pharmacology, University of Western Australia, Fremantle Hospital, Freemantle, Western Australia, Australia; Papua New Guinea Institute of Medical Research, Madang, Papua New Guinea. Abstract Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leukocytosis in severe malaria was assessed in 87 children in Papua New Guinea participating in a detailed longitudinal observational study who had undergone lumbar puncture for further investigation of altered consciousness and/or convulsions. After rigorous exclusion of non-malarial infection, 16 (20.5%) of 78 children with Plasmodium falciparum monoinfection but 0 of 9 with P. vivax/mixed-species malaria had a detectable CSF leukocytosis, which was unrelated to prior, including complex, seizures. There were eight children with a CSF leukocyte density > 10 cells/μL (9.2% of the total sample), half of whom had cerebral malaria (4 of 22, 18.1%). Cerebrospinal fluid leukocytosis is infrequent in severe pediatric malaria, especially in children with P. vivax infections, and it is generally mild. Its presence in a blood slide-positive child should prompt consideration of alternative diagnoses and empiric antibiotic therapy. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2019-05-29 15:48:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note the French text indicates an elevation of white blood cells, it does not qualify this elevation. |
