Acute Appendicitis in a Child With Acute Leukemia and Chemotherapy-Induced Neutropenia : A Case Report and Literature Review
Copyright © 2020, Ali et al..
Acute appendicitis is a rare but important complication in children with leukemia. It can be difficult to diagnose, and it has a complicated disease course, especially in patients receiving chemotherapy. Awareness of these complications is critical, particularly in cases where surgical intervention is required. We report a child with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and chemotherapy-induced neutropenia who presented with acute appendicitis. He was successfully treated with broad-spectrum empiric antibiotics and a delayed laparoscopic appendectomy.
