A leukemoid reaction is a rare condition characterized by an elevation in white blood cell count exceeding 50,000 cells/μL in response to severe medical conditions, which can mimic the presentation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Distinguishing between leukemoid reaction and CML depends on a thorough clinical history and comprehensive laboratory evaluation. We present a case of leukemoid reaction associated with severe diabetic ketoacidosis, where the patient's white blood cell count returned to the normal range after the correction of hyperglycemia and electrolyte imbalances.
