- Lin, a 5-year-11-month-boy was admitted to a paediatric hospital. No neck stiffness, Kernig's sign (-), Brudzinski's sign (-), Babinski's sign (-). All joints had no swollen and tenderness. The outpatient physician then ordered blood routine and peripheral blood smear tests. To find out the reasons for the elbows pain, bilateral tibia, ulnar, femur and fibula films were taken. Blood routine test: WBC=7.2 x 109/L, RBC=3.1 x 109/L, BPC=64 x 109/L, Hb=90g/L, atypical cells 7%. Peripheral blood smear test: blast=18%, L=48%, N=31%. Bilateral tibia, ulnar, femur and fibula films: no obvious bone tissue damage in the bilateral ulnar, fibula, lower section of the tibia and the distal part of the femur. The outpatient physician suggested the parents to sign the consent form of bone marrow aspiration immediately and wished to proceed with the procedure as soon as possible to analyse the immune markers.

Billy is taken immediately to the emergency room. The mother becomes increasingly anxious as she notices new bruises appearing “in front of her eyes.” Billy also appears tense as he senses some urgency and notices some concern from medical personnel beginning the assessment. Why does unexplained multiple bruising in a child or adult require prompt medical attention? How might you understand the natural concern by medical personnel as to the source of the bruises on Billy’s body?
