leukemia is a type of malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Clonal leukemia cells proliferate and accumulate in bone marrow and other hematopoietic tissues due to mechanisms such as uncontrolled proliferation, differentiation failure, and obstructed apoptosis, and infiltrate other non-hematopoietic tissues and organs, while inhibiting normal hematopoietic function. Leukemia, also known as hematological cancer, is a malignant tumor of the hematopoietic system . Clinically, there are various degrees of anemia, bleeding, infection, fever, liver, spleen, and lymphadenopathy, and bone pain.
On August 5, 2021, Director Zeng Yingjian of the Department of Hematology, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine successfully diagnosed and treated a critically ill patient with acute leukemia . The 20-year-old Xiaomu (pseudonym) was originally a handsome boy full of youthful vitality, but began to have repeated fever more than 10 days ago, and it was progressively worsening. Later, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and severe infection in the inpatient system of a third-class hospital. During the hospitalization period, he was treated with a variety of high-end antibiotics, but he still had repeated fever, and his body temperature was frequently higher than 39℃, and his condition did not improve. In desperation, the family members of the patient sought medical advice from Director Zeng Yingjian, hoping to help reduce fever symptoms and improve the condition by taking Chinese medicine. Due to the epidemic and the patient's physical weakness, and the patient is being hospitalized in an external hospital at this time, Xiaomu's family came to state on his behalf, and conducted systematic TCM diagnosis and treatment through mobile phone video. In addition to repeated high fever, Xiaomu It is also accompanied by body heat and profuse sweating, occasional chills and fever, continuous coughing with speech and deep breathing, occasional coughing of foamy sputum, and dry mouth and polydipsia, sometimes pain in the right side and lower side of the tongue, pale tongue, and white coating Floating yellow and thick and greasy.
Director Zeng Yingjian said that the advantages of Chinese medicine in the treatment of leukemia are to strengthen the body and eliminate the evil, balance and balance, and it can form a good combination and integration effect with modern medical technology. Acute leukemia can be attributed to the categories of "warm toxin" and "rework" in Chinese medicine. The disease is located in the bone marrow. Due to the evil of poison, blood stasis and heat, it invades the bone marrow, resulting in damage to the internal organs, and the deficiency of both yin and yang, resulting in the formation of A series of complex and refractory diseases. According to Xiaomu’s current symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine, Director Zeng Yingjian differentiated the syndrome of the lung meridian and qi, and pointed out that “Taiyin febrile disease, floating pulse, yellow tongue, severe thirst, profuse sweating, red face, feverish people, Xinliang heavy medicine Baihu Tang Of the Lord". Director Zeng Yingjian repeatedly emphasized the importance of the classics of traditional Chinese medicine in the practice of diagnosis and treatment.Pay attention to the combination of classic and clinical, and often achieve better results for difficult diseases!
On the day of medication, Xiaomu's family reported that there was no fever during the day, and the body temperature at night was 37.5℃, and the fever had been significantly reduced. On the fourth day, the family members again reported that the body temperature has stabilized at 36.9-37.2°C in recent days, and Ogi’s condition has improved significantly in all aspects!
Early symptoms of leukemia need to be vigilant Most of the typical symptoms are persistent, and the body temperature generally reaches 37.5-40 degrees Celsius, with occasional chills, but not shivering. However, because fever is a common symptom, many patients think that it may be caused by a cold or infection after they have fever of different degrees. They often ignore the factors of leukemia and easily lead to the rapid development of leukemia.

Many people will have varying degrees of anemia in the early stages of leukemia, manifested as pale complexion, decreased appetite, fatigue, and sometimes , palpitations, and shortness of breath. lower extremity edema caused by anemia.
3. Bleeding
Leukemia patients will have bleeding, the location of bleeding is not restricted, it is more common in skin, gums, nose bleeding, retina, ear bleeding, intracranial, digestive tract, and respiratory tract. Wait for visceral hemorrhage to occur.
4. Abnormally elevated white blood cells
Patients with leukemia often have abnormally elevated white blood cells, especially immature white blood cells, so this is a major feature of leukemia. It can be found during routine inspections.
