Dr. Zhang Heyang
The early symptoms of acute leukemia include fatigue, decreased exercise tolerance, and difficulty concentrating. Once an infection occurs, high fever, chills, and severe fatigue develop rapidly. When platelet levels begin to drop, small bruises, petechiae, or rashes may appear on the body, and some patients may develop blood blisters in the mouth. If these symptoms occur, prompt medical evaluation is essential to identify the underlying cause and avoid delaying optimal treatment.
