Tests
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
* Complete blood count with white cell differential, manual: Leukocytosis is found in over 50%, neutropenia in 25%, thrombocytopenia in over 75%, and anemia in more than 80% of patients at the time of diagnosis .
Suspected and known acute lymphoblastic leukemia
* Bone marrow examination: Greater than 25% lymphoblasts in bone marrow is diagnostic of ALL; further definition is by morphology, cytochemistry, immunophenotype, and genetics .
Suspected and known acute lymphoblastic leukemia
* Lumbar puncture: Evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid is necessary to detect CNS involvement in acute leukemia; caution is taken to avoid a traumatic lumbar puncture .
Initial evaluation of suspected and known acute lymphoblastic leukemia
* Electrolytes measurement, serum
* Hepatic function panel
* Measurement of renal function
Differential Diagnosis
* Acute myeloid leukemia - Acute
* Secondary malignant neoplasm of bone marrow
* Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
* Hodgkin's disease
* Chronic myeloid leukemia - Acute
* Hairy cell leukemia
* Multiple myeloma
* Compound leukemias
* Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
* Infectious mononucleosis - Acute
* Pertussis - Acute
* Rheumatic fever - Acute
* Autoimmune disease
* Aplastic anemia - Acute
* Myelodysplastic syndrome - Chronic
* Myelofibrosis
* Iron deficiency anemia - Chronic
* Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura - Acute
* Osteomyelitis - Acute
Treatment
Procedural Therapy
High-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia
* Hemopoietic stem cell transplant: Stem cell transplantation following first remission is beneficial in children and adults with high-risk ALL and also in refractory or relapsed disease .
CNS-directed treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia
* Radiation therapy: Cranial radiation is used for CNS-directed therapy but may be largely replaced by improved chemotherapy regimens because of the long-term CNS effects of radiation .
