Abstract
Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with COVID-19 might still have a risk of severe infection due to immunocompromised condition. The clinical features in oncology population are quite similar to those of previous reports in general pediatric cases. Chemotherapy should be arranged individually to balance the risk between leukemia progressivity itself and COVID-19 complications. Interruptions of therapy must be thought in cases with severe or symptomatic infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome-CoV-2. In this case report, chemotherapy will be started 1 week after the improvement of general condition. Chemotherapy should not be postponed for >14 days.
