title: Epinephrine induced leucocytosis in a non-infective exacerbation of asthma.
abstract: In life-threatening cases of Acute Asthma the administration of epinephrine may be given as part of the initial management by paramedics. Concurrent infection is a frequent precipitant of an asthma exacerbation and consequently a leucocytosis is often found in such a situation. This case illustrates that marked leucocytosis can occur without an underlying infective process following epinphrine use.
