pubmed:abstractText |
Seven of the 25 children with acute leukemia were malnourished on admission. Of the 11 children who presented with fever, 6 had protein energy malnutrition and a bacterial infection was confirmed. They had a lower total leucocyte count. Out of 18 well-nourished children, 5 presented with a fever and the causative organism was isolated in 1 patient. There were more patients with a palpable liver in the malnourished group, and they had a high morbidity due to infections during remission induction.
