Kanuru, 18th Oct 2023: American Oncology Institute (AOI) in Kanuru, Vijayawada, saved a 2-year-old baby diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). The baby was presented with complaints of persistent fever and breathlessness. The initial evaluations revealed an alarmingly high white blood cell count (WBC), low platelet count, and anemia, sparking immediate concern. Further diagnostic tests, including bone marrow studies, confirmed a high-risk diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a form of blood cancer that primarily affects children.
Under the expert guidance of Dr Sai Krishna Kolluru, Medical Oncologist, the baby was promptly admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and began a rigorous course of treatment. Over the span of three months, the baby was under intensive chemotherapy, administered by the highly specialized team at AOI Vijayawada, all the while under close monitoring to manage and mitigate the side effects and complications associated with such a demanding treatment protocol. In an astonishing turn of events, within just one month of dedicated treatment, the disease was under control, leading to complete remission. The child has now successfully completed the treatment.
Dr Sai Krishna Kolluru, Medical Oncologist, AOI Kanuru explained, “Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) can be particularly aggressive in young children, and early intervention is essential for a favorable outcome. The journey to control the disease and achieve complete remission in this 2-year-old baby has been both challenging and heartwarming. The child's remarkable progress is a testament to the power of intensive chemotherapy, and we are immensely pleased with the progress he has made."
