Introduction: Despite the scientific advances that have made it possible to diagnose and treat acute leukemias in infants, there is a considerable increase in the incidence of these conditions on a worldwide scale annually.
Objective: To deepen the knowledge about acute leukemias in pediatric ages.
Methods: A bibliographic review was carried out in May 2021 of 35 selected sources from the PubMed, Medline Plus, Mayo Clinic and SciELO databases using the Scholar Google search engine. 20 selected citations were used for the development of this article, of which more than 50% correspond to the last five years.
Results: Acute leukemias constitute the most frequent oncological pathologies in pediatric ages, being within this classification, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, responsible for the highest morbidity and mortality statistics in the child population worldwide. The clinical characteristics, etiology, epidemiological data, signs and symptoms, and diagnostic methods of these onco-diseases were discussed. In addition, satisfactory treatments were addressed that seek to improve the quality of life of children who suffer from them and the genetic factors involved in their appearance.
Conclusions: Pediatric oncology finds in acute leukemias, the conditions with the highest incidence in children; therefore, methods such as bone marrow aspiration and biopsy and lumbar puncture have been perfected. Likewise, treatments such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation are implemented to improve the quality of life of diagnosed infants.
