Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic staffThey differ for each type of leukemia, but common leukemia symptoms include:
- Fever or chills
- Persistent fatigue, weakness
- Frequent infections
- Loss of appetite or weight
- Swollen lymph nodes, enlarged liver or spleen
- Easy bleeding or bruising
- Shortness of breath when you're physically active, as while climbing steps
- Tiny red spots in your skin (petechiae)
- Excessive sweating, especially at night
- Bone pain or tenderness
The severity of signs and symptoms depends on the number of abnormal blood cells and where they collect. You may overlook early symptoms of leukemia because they may resemble symptoms of the flu and other common illnesses.
