Leukemoid reactions occur in a variety of different conditions, all indicative of acute stress. These include infectious etiologies, adverse reactions to medications, asplenia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and septic shock with end-organ damage. Infants with trisomy 21 can often be born with a leukemoid reaction.
Leukemoid reactions will resolve with treatment of the underlying condition.
