Abstract (English): This study, with a quantitative approach and cross-sectional observational analytical design, aimed to identify and analyze the main causes of leukocytosis in patients admitted to the Internal Medicine Department of the Luque General Hospital (Paraguay) between January and September 2024, considering predisposing factors and their impact on clinical diagnosis. A total of 1,296 adult patients with laboratory-confirmed leukocytosis were included, excluding those with chronic hematological diseases or undergoing immunosuppressive treatment. Data were collected through medical record review and analyzed statistically. The results showed that the most frequent causes of leukocytosis were respiratory infections (pneumonia), skin and soft tissue infections, chronic diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), and heart disease, with a high incidence observed in elderly patients and those with comorbidities. Furthermore, a significant increase in cases was identified during the months of August and September, possibly linked to seasonal factors. These findings underscore the need for clinical surveillance and prevention strategies focused on patients at higher risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): El presente estudio, de enfoque cuantitativo y diseño observacional analítico de corte transversal, tuvo como objetivo identificar y analizar las causas principales de leucocitosis en pacientes internados en el Servicio de Medicina Interna del Hospital General de Luque (Paraguay) entre enero y septiembre de 2024, considerando factores predisponentes y su impacto en el diagnóstico clínico. Se incluyeron 1.296 pacientes adultos con leucocitosis confirmada por laboratorio, excluyéndose aquellos con enfermedades hematológicas crónicas o bajo tratamiento inmunosupresor. Los datos fueron recolectados mediante revisión de historias clínicas y analizados estadísticamente. Los resultados mostraron que las causas más frecuentes de leucocitosis fueron infecciones respiratorias (neumonía), infecciones de piel y partes blandas, enfermedades crónicas como enfermedad renal crónica (ERC), accidentes cerebrovasculares (ACV) y cardiopatías, observándose una alta incidencia en pacientes de edad avanzada y con comorbilidades. Además, se identificó un aumento significativo de casos durante los meses de agosto y septiembre, posiblemente vinculado a factores estacionales. Estos hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de vigilancia clínica y estrategias de prevención enfocadas en pacientes con mayor riesgo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
