Patient's question:
The flu patients in the hospital were many the day before yesterday. The doctor casually checked and said it was a bacterial infection. Because a new bed was just bought at home, his hemoglobin is at the edge, so Grandma is worried about the risk of leukemia or other malignant diseases. Please ask the pediatrician or relevant doctors to check. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The child is four years old. From a thorough blood test, it is evident that neutrophils are significantly decreased, and C-reactive protein is elevated. The suggestion is that it is clearly a bacterial infection. Hemoglobin is within the normal range, making leukemia highly unlikely. Only anti-infection treatment is needed. Leukemia would cause a reduction in all types of cells. Therefore, other issues for the child are not considered.The above is the advice for this issue. It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
