What is the disease that destroys lymphocytes?
There are many diseases which destroy lymphocytes. You are most likely thinking of HIV infection though. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) specifically enters CD4 T cells, a specific type of lymphocyte also known as helper T cell. It reproduces inside these cells and ultimately destroys them, slowly depleting the person of all of their CD4 T cells. This leads to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
