Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, characterized by the rapid proliferation of abnormal white blood cells. The symptoms of leukemia can vary widely depending on the type and stage of the disease, but they generally result from the infiltration of bone marrow and other tissues by leukemic cells.

Emotional and Behavioral Symptoms:
Leukemia presents with a wide range of symptoms primarily due to the infiltration of bone marrow and other tissues by abnormal white blood cells. Common symptoms include fatigue, anemia, bleeding tendencies, increased susceptibility to infections, and organ enlargement. Oral manifestations and rare cardiac complications can also occur. Emotional and behavioral symptoms may be present in children but are not significantly different from those in children with other diseases. Understanding these symptoms is crucial for early diagnosis and effective management of leukemia.
