Anemia (aplastic anemia, iron deficiency anemia, severe β-thalassemia)

Disease Introduction Anemia refers to a group of diseases characterized by a lower than normal number of red blood cells or hemoglobin in peripheral blood, resulting in insufficient tissue oxygen supply. Aplastic anemia is caused by bone marrow failure leading to a pancytopenia, manifesting as anemia, bleeding, and infection; iron deficiency anemia is caused by insufficient iron reserves leading to impaired hemoglobin synthesis, often caused by blood loss or insufficient intake; severe β-thalassemia is c

leukemia

Disease Introduction Leukemia is a hematologic malignancy caused by the malignant clonal proliferation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Based on cell origin, it is classified into acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, more common in children), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Typical manifestations include anemia, bleeding, fever and infection, bone pain, and enlargement of the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. The cure rate for childhood beta-angiocarcinoma (B-ALL)

Lymphoma

Disease Introduction Lymphoma is a malignant tumor originating from lymphocytes, and is divided into two main categories: Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Common subtypes of the latter include diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. Typical symptoms include painless lymphadenopathy, which may be accompanied by fever, night sweats, weight loss (B symptoms), and hepatosplenomegaly. Modern treatment is based on immunochemotherapy, combined with targ

Multiple myeloma

Disease Introduction Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy caused by the malignant proliferation of plasma cells, manifesting as bone pain, pathological fractures, anemia, kidney damage, hypercalcemia, and recurrent infections. It is highly prevalent in the elderly population. While a complete cure is currently difficult, the emergence of drugs such as proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulators, CD38 monoclonal antibodies, dual antibodies, and CAR-T therapy has ushered in an era of long-term managemen

Primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura

Disease Introduction Primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a hemorrhagic disease caused by increased platelet destruction and insufficient platelet production mediated by the autoimmune system. Symptoms include petechiae and ecchymoses on the skin, bleeding gums, and nosebleeds; in severe cases, internal bleeding may occur. It is more common in adults as a chronic condition, while in children it is more often acute. The treatment goal is to raise the platelet count to a safe level and reduce th

Allergic purpura

Disease Introduction Allergic purpura (IgA vasculitis) is a vasculitis characterized by the deposition of IgA immune complexes in small blood vessels. It is more common in children and typically presents as symmetrical purpura on the skin. It may be accompanied by joint swelling and pain, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, and kidney involvement (IgA vasculitis nephritis). Most cases are self-limiting, but kidney involvement is a key factor affecting long-term prognosis and requires standardized f
