2 children with fever leukemia often have fever, which can be low fever (37.5 -38 degrees), irregular fever, or high fever. One of the causes of fever is tumor fever, that is, leukemia cells release pyrogen themselves, causing body temperature to rise, and another reason is secondary infection, causing body fever.
3 Hemorrhage In the whole course of leukemia children, almost all children will have bleeding to varying degrees. The most common bleeding sites are skin and mucous membranes, which are often manifested as skin bleeding spots or ecchymosis, nosebleeds, gingival bleeding, blood bubbles in the mouth and tongue, etc. Severe children may have visceral bleeding, such as hematemesis, expectoration, hematuria and melena. Some children may suffer from fundus hemorrhage, resulting in decreased vision and blindness, and even death. The occurrence of bleeding is related to the invasion of leukemia cells into normal bone marrow, which leads to abnormal platelets.
4 Most children with hepatosplenomegaly leukemia will have superficial lymphadenopathy, which is more common in submandibular, neck, clavicle, armpit and groin, and often has no obvious pain. Physical examination can find hepatosplenomegaly and obvious tenderness under the sternum, which is the performance of a large number of leukemia cells invading bone marrow.
