Can a person with COPD be around a child with Leukemia?


Can a person with COPD be around a child with Leukemia?

do you mean obsessive compulsive disorder? ofcourse they can!

both COPD and leukemia are non-infectious, so yes

Yes, provided that the person with COPD is not sick with an infection. COPD is a condition that affects the lungs, and therefore, they are more susceptible to infections like pneumonia. A child with leukemia will most likely be receiving chemotherapy, which suppresses the immune system and therefore makes them more susceptible to infection. Since the child's immune system is already suppressed, it will be very difficult for them to get rid of the infection. But, like I said if the COPD person is "healthy" (meaning non-infectious) there's no reason why they can't be around a leukemia patient.

of course

Neither are contagious.

COPD is a build of fluid in the lungs, it's not like bronchitis or anything.

I feel for you hon' if you're dealing with this situation, IRL.
