Leukemoid reaction
A leukemoid reaction is a reaction resembling leukemia, but is
actually due to other conditions such as infections or other disease processes. As with
leukemia, a person having a leukemoid reaction has a disorganized increase in immature
white blood cells in the blood and bone marrow.
