Özet

Congenital leukemia is rare, and is frequently diagnosed as a form of acute myeloid leukemia at, or immediately after birth. Some infections, viral in particular, can mimic clinical signs and/or laboratory findings of congenital leukemia. This is the first documented case of candidemia resembling leukemia. © 2007 Informa UK Ltd.
