The mean age was 6.13 ± 4/48 years. The most common clinical feauture was lethargy (78.6%) followed by history of fever (73.8%), pallor (34.5%), lymphadenopathy (29.8%), anemia (60.7%) and hepatosplenomegaly (48.8%). There was a significant correlation between T cell leukemia and lower hemoglobin level, and likewise with lower platelet count in children more than 8 years of age (p < 0.05).
