Leukemia ranks first in the incidence rate of babies in China, and the incidence rate of leukemia has increased in recent years. At least 30000 to 40000 babies suffer from leukemia every year. If we find and treat early, we can better control the disease. So we must pay attention to understand the early symptoms of leukemia in babies. What are the early symptoms of leukemia in babies?
1. Anemia
Babies with leukemia often experience anemia at the beginning. Babies with leukemia mainly exhibit pale complexion, weak limbs, and excessive sweating. Whether playing or resting, babies will feel difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, and a faster heartbeat. These situations will continue to worsen. If anemia is more severe, it often indicates that leukemia is more severe.
2. Fever
The common condition for babies with leukemia is fever. Fever is also a symptom that parents tend to overlook. Babies with leukemia often experience fever, and the duration of fever is irregular or consistently high. Because babies with leukemia have significantly reduced white blood cells, their immune system may be weakened, leading to a decrease in resistance and making them more susceptible to infection and fever.
3. Bleeding
Babies with leukemia may experience bleeding symptoms. 40% to 70% of babies will experience bleeding in the early stages of illness. Generally speaking, the places where babies bleed are usually on the skin and mucous membranes. Common manifestations include bleeding spots or bruising on the skin, as well as nosebleeds, gum and oral bleeding, and so on.
