Severe childhood infections can occasionally be accompanied by bone marrow suppression. It is unusual for infection induced marrow aplasia to evolve into acute leukemia. We share our experience in managing four children with severe sepsis and pancytopenia which in due course evolved into acute leukemia. This report emphasizes that sepsis related pancytopenia can be a harbinger of evolving hematopoietic disorders.
严重的儿童感染偶尔会伴有骨髓抑制。感染所致的骨髓再生障碍演变为急性白血病的情况并不常见。我们分享了对四名患有严重脓毒症和全血细胞减少症儿童的治疗经验,这些儿童在病程中均演变为急性白血病。本报告强调,脓毒症相关的全血细胞减少症可能是造血系统疾病演变的先兆。
