Abstract

Chimeric antigen receptor therapy Hyperleukocytosis Tumor lysis syndrome Chemotherapy Leukemia
For many patients, the emergency department (ED) serves as the sole access to health care. Therefore, providers must evaluate patients thoroughly and with a holistic approach regardless of presenting concerns. Recognizing that acute leukemia can present with non-specific systemic symptoms can aid in early diagnosis and timely referral. Treatment with chemotherapy and the disease process itself can leave leukemia patients vulnerable to a number of conditions that require emergent management. Maintaining clinical suspicion for these conditions and being aware of treatment mainstays is crucial for ED providers in properly treating patients with leukemia.
