Abstract
A leukaemic reaction is an increase of leukocytes count in peripheral blood between 20-50 G/l with significant percentage of immature white blood cells: metamyeloblasts, myelocytes and even myeloblasts in blood smear. The leukaemic reactions during cancers and many infections diseases, especially in the pregnancy, by their clinical symptoms and laboratory changes can imitate acute and chronic leukaemias. In this article we introduce a pregnant woman with the leukaemic reaction with leucocyte count 51 G/l and a presence of immature white blood cells with myeloblasts in peripheral blood smear. This leukaemic reaction was caused by inflammatory process in the myoma uteri and the urinary tract.
