Disease patterns of some hematologic disorders and leukemia in this regard are dynamically changing and are coming common problems of Africa, and Ethiopia in particular. Indeed, in most hospitals personnel working around the issue of leukemia diagnosis have limited resources and capacities to analyze blood disease, and as a result, mis ¿diagnosis is common.
