[Neonatal leukemoid reaction caused by prenatal corticoid administration?].
A leukemoid reaction in the neonatal phase of a preterm infant is described. After a maximum of 112,000/microliter at the forth day leukocyte concentration normalized during the end of the second week of life. Intensive investigations could reveal none of the known causes of leukocytosis. The connection with maternal corticoid administration to prevent respiratory distress syndrome is discussed.
