Welcome to H.C.M. Dear Maribel , boil can be one sign of leukemia. Leukemic patient are prone to develop infection so boils are not healed and can increase in size. Not all boils are leukemia. For diagnosing a leukemia peripheral blood film with complete blood count is first and very important investigation. Thanx for query.
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Boil is not the sign of leukemia. But she may have blood testing due to boil and blood testing reveals leukemia. You should go for complete blood count and bone marrow examination. confirm the exact diagnosis and type of leukemia and take treatment accordingly.
