Pediatric hematology is a medical specialty that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of blood disorders and related conditions in children. It encompasses a wide range of conditions, including anemia, bleeding disorders, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and various forms of pediatric cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. Pediatric hematologists are trained to provide specialized care tailored to the unique needs of children, including infants and adolescents. The field involves comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, treatment plans, and ongoing management to ensure the best possible outcomes for young patients with hematologic disorders.
