Abstract

Hepatitis A and Measles are the most common viral infection in pediatric patients. Viral infections causes to serious problem in immunocompromised patients such as acute leukemias. It is known that some viral infection agent causes hematologic malignancies. We report here two patient with acute leukemias who admitted to our clinic with similar to viral infection. The first case is a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) presented with ascites and pleural effusion. In this patient, the major clinical problem is hepatitis A. The second case is a patient with ALL who admitted with symptoms of measles. We discussed here, some viral infections may cause to leukemia and those may be associated with leukemias

Özet

Hepatit A ve kızamık enfeksiyonu çocukluk yaş grubunda sık görülen viral enfeksiyonlardandır. Akut lösemiler gibi immunosüpresif hastalarda viral infeksiyonlar ciddi sorunlar yaratabilir. Bazı viral enfeksiyonların hematolojik malignensi potansiyelleri bilinmektedir. Bu makalede ilk tanı anında viral hepatit A enfeksiyonu ile başvuran batında asit ve plevral effüzyonu olan bir akut lenfoblastik lösemi (ALL) olgusu ile kızamık enfeksiyonu ile başvuran bir ALL olgusu sunulmaktadır. Bu olgular ile viral infeksiyonların lösemiye neden olabileceği veya viral enfeksiyonların lösemiyle birlikte görülebileceği tartışılacaktır.
