Acute Myelogenous Leukemia as the Cause of a Nonhealing Infection in a 10-Month-Old Infant

Michael A. Schreck, DPM *

* Foot and Ankle of West Georgia, 2751 Warm Springs Rd, Columbus, GA 31904.

Abstract

The treating podiatric physician should consider underlying malignant disease when evaluating a child with any slowly healing or nonhealing infection involving the lower extremity. This article reports on an infant who was treated for suspected osteomyelitis involving his right fifth toe that did not improve with standard surgical, medical, and antibiotic treatments. He was later diagnosed as having acute myelogenous leukemia. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 97(2): 145–147, 2007)
