Can leukemia Be Mis-diagonised ?

[cortedivoire]

@shocks

A brother to a friend died within a month of being diagnosed, went for holiday in diani, started bleeding from his gums and feeling weak, within a week it was diagnosed to be leukemia, died on the 4th week

Please note that leukemia stages normally advance for a long period of time if treatment is started from stage 1. If stage 1 is not treated and then it advances to stage 2 the chances of survival reduces henceforth as it advances to later stages

You are the doc in some small hospital, poorly equipped. No oncologist. What would you do if a patient with leukemia had a positive malaria antigen test or bs for malaria teeming with the parasites? What if he has renal failure the aki type? Suppose he was anemic and he gets a transfusion reaction while you are giving him the blood? What if you had sent the sample for ancillary studies and lancet tells you the sample will be sent overseas you have to wait for a few days before you get the results? What if the patients actually succumbs that night while the sample is on the taxiway in jkia hata bado takeoff?

A friend told me his neighbour passed on after receiving treated for Malaria , only to die of LEUKEMIA that evening ? Who can explain this ?

Most of these chronic ilnesses tend to have vague symptoms that most people tend to ignore as homa tu, ama Ka- malaria.
Secondly common things occur commonly so mtu akiwa na fever like symptoms you don’t start kuscreen for cancer. If there is no or little improvement then you should have a high index of suspicion and investigate further.
Diagnostic challenges for health workers in Kenya esp public are numerous. Shida ni watu Kama @Deez Nuts who make assumptions and jump to conclusions that doctors are incompetent.

Mwambie. The guy has just discovered that malaria has some symptoms in common with leukemia. And he thinks doctors have never heard of that.

Cancer of any type is worse than HIV AIDS in 2019.

Forget cancer, it has its own league. Taking all parameters into account, diabetes and hypertension are worse than HIV.
