ALGORITHM FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE LEUKEMIA

Abstract

Although the clinical picture of advanced acute leukemia is outlined quite clearly, there are practically no clinical symptoms that are specific, pathognomonic only for this disease. Therefore, even such seemingly specific manifestations of hematological diseases as hemorrhagic syndrome, anemia, enlargement of lymph nodes, liver and spleen, allows the doctor only to suspect acute leukemia and urgently refer the patient to a blood test. The identification of the process, the diagnosis of the disease can be carried out using only morphological methods.
