Abstract

Leukemia is a common malignancy seen in young children and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for 75% of all leukemias. Advances in the treatment regimen include multi-agent chemotherapy and central nervous system directed radiotherapy. Immune suppression caused due to disease and therapy makes these children more prone to bacterial, fungal infections and at times reactivation of viral diseases. Hence, the present study was taken to assess, the oral conditions among ALL children during chemotherapy.

Keywords
