Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a childhood cancer with high mortality rates in LMICs and is not included in the World Health Organization (WHO)’s ‘six common and curable types of cancer’. This case report explores two pediatric AML cases in Kenya (LMIC) and the Netherlands (HIC), highlighting differences and similarities in both patient journeys. The first case is a 15-year-old Kenyan boy who initially experienced dizziness and fatigue. After repeated blood transfusions without a definitive diagnosis, AML was confirmed via bone marrow aspiration (BMA) 63 days later, and treatment followed the SIOP PODC AML guidelines for LMICs. The second case is a 6-year-old Dutch boy with fatigue and malaise. Initially diagnosed with post-viral bone marrow failure, a BMA performed 61 days after symptom onset revealed AML, and treatment followed the NOPHO-DBH AML-2012 protocol. Both patients faced frequent febrile neutropenia, managed per local guidelines, illustrating the balance between anti-cancer treatment and supportive care.
