Leukostasis Due to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia with Monocytic Differentiation that Resolved after Leukapheresis

Abstract

Even though the stakes of leukostasis are high, the data regarding the efficacy of leukapheresis for leukostasis is meagre. We report a patient with leukostasis due to acute myeloid leukaemia with monocytic differentiation who improved clinically after therapeutic leukapheresis, a rarely performed variation of therapeutic apheresis.
