| Article Title: | Acute myeloid leukemia presenting as common colds: An uncommon consideration |
| Abstract: | Acute myeloid leukemia is the most common form of leukemia and can present with a wide variety of signs and symptoms. This article presents a case of a middle-aged male who presented with ongoing upper respiratory cold-like symptoms and was then found to be severely pancytopenic. A diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia was made after a bone marrow biopsy, and the patient underwent induction chemotherapy. This article brings to light the uncommon diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia, from a common presentation, a common cold. Additionally, it discusses the initial workup and diagnostic process of acute myeloid leukemia, risk stratification, and a basic treatment algorithm. |
