Leukemia has no incubation period. Leukemia is a malignant disease of the blood system with an acute onset, typical symptoms, and rapid progression of the disease in a short period of time.
The pathogenesis of leukemia is a malignant clonal lesion of hematopoietic stem cells, which inhibits normal hematopoiesis. Once the bone marrow hematopoietic system has abnormal hematopoietic stem cell differentiation and proliferation, it means that leukemia has already occurred, and accordingly some symptoms of leukemia appear, such as bleeding of the skin and mucous membranes, unexplained fever, and pain in the sternum and other symptoms.
The development of leukemia is generally related to family inheritance, long-term exposure to some chemical substances (such as benzene, mercury, etc.), long-term exposure to radioactive substances radiation (such as X-ray), and the essence of the disease is gene mutation or chromosome abnormality. Therefore, those who have the above risk factors need to regularly review the blood routine for early detection and treatment.
Clinically, once anemia, fatigue, bleeding, low-grade fever, bone pain and other symptoms appear, one should be alert to blood system diseases, and it is recommended to go to the hospital to improve the blood routine, and if necessary, need to carry out bone marrow aspiration to confirm the diagnosis, and early intervention can effectively improve the patient’s prognosis.
