Why are leukemia patients vulnerable to infection?
In general, leukemia is characterized by an increase in WBC's. This may lead you to think there would be a strengthening of the immune system, however, the increase in WBC's is due to the unregulated proliferation of immature cells (myeloid cells or lymphoblasts) or abnormal cells which are both incapable of defense against infection.
What is CBC of a person with leukemia?
It really depends on the type of leukemia. But there are several generalizations one can make across the board for all types. Leukemia reflects an unregulated accumulation of immature cells in the bone marrow and lymph tissue. WBC's typically >50,000 per cubic millimeter Shift to the Left # Acute myelocytic leukemia - increased blasts, increased pros and increased segs # Acute lymphocytic leukemia - Increased L-blasts, increased L-pros and no increased segs # Chronic myelocytic leukemia - presence of metas or myelos and increased segs # Chronic lymphocytic leukemia - presence of metas or myelos and no increased segs There are the basics.
Does low 3800 white blood count indicate leukemia?
NO, just because you have an increased WBC count doesn't mean you have leukemia. There are other things in the blood work that would need to be looked at to say for sure. Things like platelet counts, when the tech did a differental did they see blasts or inmature WBC's. Have you been sick? Fever, sore throat, difficulty breathing, bruising easy? There are a lot of things that need to be looked at before the Dr says if it is or is not leukemia.

What is the difference between leukemia and lukemia?
There are 2 ways of understanding this difference. 1) Firstly, one of the causes of leucocytosis could be leukemia. But there are several other less-severe causes of leucocytosis such as infection,hemorrhage, corticosteroid treatment etc. So, leukemia is one of the types of leucocytosis. 2) Secondly, leukemia is when large number of IMMATURE WBC's are in circulation. In leucocytosis, the WBC's are normal and mature. This is a very important point of difference.
