Osteomyelitis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Journal Title: Αρχεία Ελληνικής Ιατρικής - Year 2011, Vol 28, Issue 4
Abstract
The orchestrated procedures of hematopoiesis are characterized by the dynamic capability of the hematopoietic stem cells in all the phases of the cell cycle. Upregulation of the hematopoiesis procedures leads to high malignancy disorders, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Primary diagnosis of ALL may be quite difficult, especially when the symptoms mimic those of osteomyelitis, and non-traumatic bone pain poses a differential diagnostic challenge. This review covers not only the differential diagnosis of childhood bone pain that is mimicked by ALL, but also the appearance of osteomyelitis in children with ALL under chemotherapy.
