Popis: The COVID‐19 pandemic potentially makes treatment of acute leukaemia more difficult. Most induction chemotherapy regimens for acute leukaemia lead to extended periods of cytopaenia and immunosuppression rendering patients vulnerable to opportunistic infections. As with many aspects of SARS‐CoV‐2, there is no universally accepted way of treating patients who present with acute leukaemia and associated infection.
