[The prognostic significance of high leukocytosis in acute myocardial infarct].
39 patients with an acute myocardial infarction and high leucocytosis of greater than or equal to 15.0,10(9)/l, were studied in order to find out the relation of the high leucocytosis and the final prognosis of the disease. The high leucocytosis of greater than or equal to 15.0.10(9)/l was found for several up to 10-12 h after the onset of the painful attack in patients with a large, combined and obligatory transmural acute myocardial infarction. Leucocytosis of greater than or equal to 19.5.10(9)/l was found in all patients who died. The high leucocytosis is due to the mobilization of the bone marrow neutrophil reserve. The high leucocytosis of greater than or equal to 15.0.10(9)/l is an important prognostic sign for the final outcome of acute myocardial infarction.
