Abstract
In 1968, Dr. Seymour Rosenblatt, a psychiatrist using lithium in the treatment of manic-depressive psychosis at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City called our attention to the fact that some of his patients receiving lithium appeared to have mild leukocytosis. Joint investigation of this phenomenon with him confirmed that such was the case, and we learned that this phenomenon had been observed as far back as 1955 (Bille and Plum).
