Case Reports
Overview
The set of case-reports describes two cases of critically-ill patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. It discusses briefly the significance of extramedullary leukemic organ infiltration according to their dysfunction, disease course and management. Moreover, it notices the rapid deterioration of clinical condition, being relatively typical for such patients, and therefore the need of early therapeutic intervention.
Key words:
acute myeloid leukaemia – leukemic infiltration – intensive care – organ failure
