AML vs. ALL: The symptoms of AML and all can be quite similar since both cause anemia (low red cells) and low platelets (which causes bruising and bleeding). In addition, they both cause an increased risk of various infections. AML is more likely to cause swollen gums and lumps on the skin. All is more likely to cause neurological symptoms since it can sometimes get into the brain or spinal fluid.
