A girl in Wales has become the first child in the world to be found with two different types of leukemia.
Lauryn Robinson, 7 years old, suffers from 'double leukemia' . Doctors have found the girl with acute leukemia called ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia) as well as non-Hodgkin lymphoma (Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma) . This is the first case in the world for children with both leukemia and leukemia.
'We have never heard of a case of chlamydia, but that is what the doctors told us about Lauryn. The case of our daughter is very rare, so the doctors have to treat her very closely. They are discussing with experts across the UK because they have not seen this case before in children , ' said Emma Robinson, Lauryn's mother.

Lauryn was a healthy and hyperactive girl until March of this year, when Lauryn's parents found her face swollen a day after the end of the school year. When her eyes began to swell, Lauryn was taken to the hospital by her father for an examination.
After conducting medical tests, doctors discovered Lauryn had acute leukemia. The disease affects hundreds of children every year. However, the chemical treatment process made her worse and caused Lauryn to suffer from stroke and stroke.
The doctor did more tests and found that Lauryn also had another leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The incidence of two leukemia at the same time is only about 1 in 1 million people.
Currently, Lauryn is being treated at England's Alder Hey pediatric hospital in Liverpool. Parents have to stay at the hospital all day and night to take care of her. Lauryn is waiting for a bone marrow replacement surgery when she finds a suitable donor.
Emma and her husband Andrew were both tested for bone marrow, but were not suitable for their daughters. Although the bones of donors in the world are not suitable for her. But the couple Emma hoped to find the present donor with appropriate marrow in the future.
Dr. Ken Campbell, a member of the Institute of Leukemia Research, said: 'Only about 200 cases of double leukemia are suspected in medical documents around the world and occur in adults. As far as I know, Lauryn is the first child in the world to have 2 types of leukemia '.
