Acute cardiorespiratory failure as presenting symptom of chronic lymphocytic leukemia

C W de Fijter et al. Neth J Med. 1996 Jul.

Abstract

A patient with acute cardiorespiratory failure caused by hyperleukocytosis due to chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is described. Although acute pulmonary failure due to leukostasis is a known and often postmortem finding in patients with acute myelocytic leukaemia (AML) or chronic myelocytic leukaemia (CML) in blastic crises, it is rare in CLL.
