Can a complete blood count test and blood culture diagnose leukemia?

Patient's question:

Can a complete blood count test and blood culture diagnose leukemia? How long does the treatment take to recover? Please help me!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your question, it is first necessary to provide some information about the child's condition for analysis. A complete blood count primarily involves analyzing the components of blood in the peripheral circulation. As for leukemia, it refers to a malignant condition of the blood system, and a definitive diagnosis generally requires a bone marrow cytological pathological examination. Therefore, if you want to check for leukemia, a bone marrow examination is still necessary for diagnosis.
