Abstract EN
Swine flu caused by H1N1 virus has complications which could be very severe.
Several studies have reported an association between influenza and malignancies.
We report a child with H1N1 with pancytopenia associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
The child presented with high-grade fever and pneumonia; a blood film revealed atypical lymphocytes with no blast cells.
A repeat blood film revealed blast cells, and a subsequent bone marrow examination confirmed the diagnosis of ALL, after which child was started on chemotherapy.
