Developed Swollen Lymph Gland On Neck. Diagnosed Due To Infection. Prescribed Antibiotics. Suggested Blood Test To Rule Out Leukemia. Guide?

The daignosis is leukemia involves both clinical and paraclinical components.
From a blood test, generally, leukemia is characterized by excessive amounts of white blood cells. In some cases, by low levels of white blood cells. This is based on number.
Secondly when these cells are observed on the microscope, they have specific characteristics peculiar to leukemia.
Considering the clinical state state of the child, the number of white blood cells and the type/structure of these cell, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE TO EXCLUDE LEUKEMIA WITH A VERY HIGH DEGREE OF CERTAINTY AND EXACTITUDE. I would really suggest you remain not bothered for now as trust the results. take the appropriate treatment in prescribed doses. In case the child does not change for the better, you can always consult. For no need to worry.
Thanks once again and best regards. Feel free asking further questions or queries for clarifications if need be.
Best regards,
Bain LE.
