POST HEMORRHAGIC LEUCOCYTOSIS

Table XXIII. — The Following Shows the Effect of Hemorrhage on 

 the Blood of Two Dogs (Rieder) 



Ante mortem leucocytosis. With slow prolonged dissolution 

 there is often a marked increase in the number of leucocytes. In 

 a case in man reported by Rieder the leucocytes increased within 

 two days from 7,800 to 59,300 of which 87.5% were polymorphs. 

 In pernicious anemia in man cases have been observed with high 

 leucocyte counts on the day of death. Cabot reported a case 

 with about 60,000 leucocytes, 91.7% of which were small lym- 

 phocytes. In cases of fowl typhoid reported by Moore, the leuco- 

 cytes were much increased just preceding death. In one case the 

 leucocytes increased from 56,000 the day before death to 115,000 

 the day of death; in another case they rose from 80,000 to 245,000
