What are the characteristics of bleeding gums in leukemia? Can not have a fever be leukemia?

Patients with leukemia are characterized by bleeding gums, usually without fever. However, bleeding gums alone cannot confirm whether it is leukemia, and it is recommended that patients seek medical attention in time for relevant examinations.

Leukemia is a malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells, which is characterized by the proliferation and accumulation of a large number of abnormal blasts in the bone marrow, and infiltrates into the liver, spleen, lymph nodes and other tissues and organs. Clinically, leukemia is divided into two categories: acute leukemia and chronic leukemia according to different pathogenesis. Among them, acute leukemia can be divided into acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Patients with acute myeloid leukemia typically present with fever, anemia, hemorrhage, and infection. In patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, anemia, infection and bleeding are the main manifestations. If the patient has bleeding gums and no other symptoms, it is thought to be due to trauma or oral disease. However, if the patient also has other uncomfortable symptoms, it is necessary to be alert that it may be due to acute leukemia.

For patients suspected of having acute leukemia, it is recommended to go to the hematology department of the hospital in time to complete the physical examination, laboratory examination, imaging examination and other related examinations under the guidance of the doctor, which will help to confirm the diagnosis. If acute leukemia is diagnosed, targeted treatment such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy should be carried out according to the doctor's instructions.
