Acute leukemia is a well known childhood cancer. The relation between leukemia and otological symptoms has long been established but is highly rare as a debut symptom of leukemia. External otitis is a common condition affecting many children, and most cases are successively treated with topical medicine. Here we present a child with acute external otitis later shown to be the debut symptom of acute myeloid leukemia, to our knowledge the first specific case described. We have reviewed the literature to find red flags for suspicion of severe disease in case of acute external otitis.
急性白血病是一种广为人知的儿童癌症。白血病与耳科症状之间的关系早已明确，但作为白血病的首发症状却极为罕见。外耳道炎是一种常见病症，影响众多儿童，大多数病例通过局部用药得以成功治疗。在此，我们报告一名患有急性外耳道炎的儿童，后来发现其急性外耳道炎是急性髓系白血病的首发症状，据我们所知，这是首例被描述的特定病例。我们查阅了文献，以找出在急性外耳道炎病例中怀疑患有严重疾病的警示信号。
