Abstract

A 40-year-old man with diabetic ketoacidosis showed marked leukocytosis reaching 60, 970/mm³ which subsided within 5 days to a level of4, 140/mm³. He had no evidence of infection. During the entire clinical course, no elevation of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was observed. No case of leukemoid reaction associated with diabetic ketoacidosis has been reported with the determination of plasma G-CSF levels.
