Anemia, bleeding tendency, infection, hepato-splenomegaly and enlarged lymphenodes are the main symptoms of acute leukemia. Moreover, leukemic infiltrations may be found in many other organs. Diagnostic procedures include the morphological, cytochemical and immunological classification of the leukaemic cells as well as the determination of the extent of the disease and functioning of the different organs. Psycho-social evaluation should also take place at the beginning of treatment.
