Welcome. My name is Divine. This is episode 621 of the Divine Intervention Podcast. Into this podcast,

we're going to be continuing the rapid review series for the US Emily Step 2, CK, and Step 3 exams.

And this is going to be series 129. Let's jump into it. So, what if they give you a question about a,

we're told that we have this two-year-old

child and this child for the last week has had very high fevers, very, very high fevers.

They tell you that this child has become more and more lethargic. And then they tell you that

on the child's skin, you see a lot of ptikii, proper ekemosis, and they give you a bunch of labs.

You notice that this child's white count is pretty high. And with that high white count,

you see a lot of lymphocytes. You see the pletlech counts is extremely low, right? And then they

tell you that, you know, the child has a padomegaly, this also also has plinomegaly and that the child has a diffuser lymphadenopathy

when you see this uh they then they then ask without treatment uh you know without

treatment what may happen to this child within the next few weeks i really hope you're picking

the answer that says death um So what does this child have?

So this child has ALL, right?

This child has ALL.

ALL is really bad, right?

And it's one of the more common pediatric, hematologic malignancies, right?

And I think there is something I want to emphasize here that can really draw some knowledge out

that can really help you on your exams.

The thing is, many people do not believe this, but these acute leukemia's, you can die from

them quickly.

In my experience, they tend to have good treatment.
