Njengoko zininzi iintlobo zomhlaza, izazinzulu azizi nto ezibangelwa yi-leukemia yobuntwaneni. Uninzi lwe-leukemia luvela kwiinguqu, okanye utshintsho, kwiijethi zesigaba sokuqala okanye iiseli zegazi. Ngoxa kungenakwazi ukuba yintoni ebangela ukuba utshintsho lwale nto, amaqela athile abantwana aboniswe ukuba asemngciphekweni ophezulu wokuphuhlisa eso sifo. I-leukemia ayixhomeki, kwaye ayidla ngokuhlala kwiintsapho.
Abantwana abasengozini yokuphuhlisa i-leukemia Kuquka:
- Abo bafana newele elifana nesifo
- Abo banomntakwabo one-leukemia (abanamaxesha angama-2-4 engozini kubantu abahlala rhoqo bephuhlisa isifo)
- Abo bafumene i-chemotherapy okanye unyango lwe-radiation kolunye uhlobo lomhlaza, ngakumbi kwiminyaka embalwa yokuqala emva kokonyango
- Abantwana abaneengxaki ezithile zofuzo, ezifana ne-Li-Fraumeni syndrome, i- Down Syndrome , i- Kleinfelter syndrome , i-Fanconi's anemia,
- I-Bloom syndrome, i-Kostmann syndrome, i- neurofibromatosis , ne-ataxia telangectasia
- Abantwana befumana izidakamizwa ezithile zokuxinzelela iintsholongwane emva kokufumana ukufakelwa komzimba
Nangona amaxabiso angabonisa ukuba la maqela abantwana asemngciphekweni ophezulu wokuphucula i-leukemia, kubalulekile ukwazi ukuba akubona bonke abantwana abaneengozi abaya kufumana eso sifo, kwaye abaninzi abenzayo abayi kuba neyiphi na ingozi ebantwini. Ukuba umntwana wakho unayo iimeko ezikhankanyiweyo ngasentla, kwaye ukhathazekile ukuba unokuhlakulela i-leukemia, thetha nodokotela wakho malunga nokuhlolwa rhoqo kwimiqathango yokujonga impilo yabo.
