Hello. My 7 year old daughter has had past issues with fevers and very low blood counts. She had a bone marrow biopsy which showed a sluggish bone marrow now she has a lot of very small bruises on her legs and is complaining of numbness in her left leg. The bruises are small and go up both entire legs. Any suggestions?
Hi BASED ON THE HISTORY GIVEN, YOUR KID MIGHT BE HAVING A MYELOFIBROSIS/LEUKEMIA WHICH IS KNOWN BY THE BONE MARROW EXAMINATION WITH VARIOUS CELL MARKERS.BRUISES AND NUMBNESS DO HAPPEN DUE TO THE LOWER BLOOD CELL COUNT AND ALSO SHE IS MORE PRONE TO INFECTIONS DUE TO LESS BLOOD CELLS.PLEASE CONSULT A PEDIATRIC HEM ATO ONCOLOGIST FOR FURTHER TREATMENT.
