Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1];

Synonyms and keywords: Acute lymphocytic leukemia, Acute myeloid leukemia, ALL, AML

Overview

Acute Leukemia is a malignancy of bone marrow myeloid and lymphoblastic precursor cells, in which these poorly differentiated hematopoietic cells proliferate rapidly. Hence, their accumulation would disrupt the performance of bone marrow to produce normal blood cells

Causes

AML and ALL are life-threatening diseases, which would result in death if left untreated. In the majority of cases, etiology is not apparent.

Common Causes of AML

Common Causes of ALL

FIRE

A Focused Initial Rapid Evaluation (FIRE) should be performed to identify patients in need of immediate intervention.[5]

Boxes in red color signify that an urgent management is needed.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Obtain patient's medical history and focus on these signs and symptoms:
Fatigue
Weight loss
Anorexia
Lymphadenopathy
Bone pain
Bleeding
Early satiety
❑ History of specific and chronic exposures such as alkylating agents, benzene, radiation, or previous chemotherapy
Headache
History of recurrent fever
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Obtain a focused history:
❑ Onset
❑ Severity compared to previous episodes
❑ Possible causes


❑ Exacerbations in previous 1 year
