Data were analyzed by Stata (version 11) software. 2 test and t-test were used. Results Of the total study population (84 cases), 65.5% were male and 34.5% were female. The mean age was 6.13 ± 4/48 years. The most common clinical feauture was lethargy (78.6%) followed by history of fever (73.8%), pallor (34.5%), lymphadenopathy (29.8%), anemia (60.7%) and hepatosplenomegaly (48.8%). There was a significant correlation between T cell leukemia and lower hemoglobin level, and likewise with lower platelet count in children more than 8 years of age (p < 0.05). Conclusions This study revealed lethargy as the most common clinical feature in our study population. As well it showed a significant correlation between lower platelet count and age (above 8 years old); the same true between lower hemoglobin level and T cell leukemia.
