Question

A five-year-old girl with a slender build and a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia currently shows no obvious lymphadenopathy but has elevated white blood cell counts. How should this be handled?

Answer

Based on the description, the girl may be suffering from a bacterial infection, and it is recommended to take aggressive antibacterial treatment measures. Considering the girl’s history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and the current elevated white blood cell count, it is advisable to promptly use antibiotic medications for symptomatic treatment. It is suggested to continue following medical instructions for anti-inflammatory therapy. If recurrent fever occurs, it indicates insufficient infection control, and continued medication treatment is needed. At the same time, attention should be paid to adequate rest, avoiding overexertion, and it is recommended to increase the intake of fruits and vegetables.
