Abstract

Abstract : Complications and toxicities of chemotherapy are the significant causes of morbidity and mortality during the treatment of childhood leukemias. Respiratory viral infections are the most common cause of febrile neutropenia episodes and rarely spread to the salivary glands. We submitted 4 patients with acute leukemia who got diagnosed with acute sialadenitis during their chemotherapy period.
