چکیده
We report a case of leukemoid reaction (LR) complicating renal abscess caused by Morganella morganii infection in an 80-year-old man. On administration, laboratory tests revealed white blood cell count of 76160 /microL and C reactive protein 3.09 mg/dL. Although chronic myeloid leukemia was suspected, bcr/abl fusion transcript was not observed. Contrast enhanced computer tomography imaging of the abdomen showed abscess in the right kidney. M. morganii was detected repeatedly in material of liquid from the abscess and arterial blood culture. To our knowledge, this is the first case of M. morganii infection complicating LR.
