Leukemia is the most common form of pediatric cancer. It affects approximately 3,250 children each year in the US, accounting for about 30 percent of childhood cancers.

Severe anemia can cause fatigue, irritability, pale skin, among other symptoms. Testing for Anemia. Most pediatricians will perform a heal prick for a drop of blood and test it for anemia sometime between 9 and 15 months of age. This is the time where anemia occurs most often. Normal red blood cell numbers are between 11 and 14 (or 33 and 42, depending on what test your doctor does). If your child is between 10 and 11, they are a mildly anemic child. Between 8 and 10 is moderate anemia, and less than 8 is considered moderate to severe anemia.
