Acute promyelocytic leukaemia
Leukemia is a medical term, and is group of cancers of of the blood or bone marrow that results in a high leukocyte count (white blood cell count). There are several different types of leukemia including Acute lymphoblastic (ALL), Acute myelogenous (AML), Chronic lymphoblastic (CLL), Chronic mylogenous (CML), Hairy Cell, T-cell, and juvenile. Not all leukemia result in High Leukocyte counts. More often, they result in over all low blood counts.
No, low blood cell count is not a symptom of leukemia, it is a symptom of anemia.
WBC count of 56,000 Means you have chronic lymphocytic leukemia
A CBC, or complete blood count, is a clinical procedure that can aid in the diagnosis of leukemia and anemia. The peripheral blood smear can also be helpful in diagnosis.

it is decrease in leucocyte count in blood
Leukemia is when the cells in the bone marrow start rapidly multiplying out of control. Undeveloped white blood cells start circulating in the body, causing a high white blood cell count. This causes non-leukemic cells to not function properly.
An elevated white blood cell count can be an indication of; Quote; * Infection * Use of certain medications, such as corticosteroids, antibiotics or anti-seizure drugs * Severe physical or emotional stress * Chronic bone marrow diseases such as a myeloproliferative disorder * Acute or chronic leukemia * Tissue damage, such as from burns http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/high-white-blood-cell-count/AN00372 These conditions can, of course, be treated, bringing the count down to normal. Furthermore, a differential white blood cell count can give more information. In this count the percentages of the different white cells are determined.
Causes of a high white blood cell count include: Infection - Severe physical or emotional stress - Use of certain medications, such as corticosteroids, antibiotics or anti-seizure drugs - Chronic bone marrow diseases such as a myeloproliferative disorder ( The chronic myeloproliferative disorders are polycythemia vera (PV), myelofibrosis (MF), essential thrombocythemia (ET), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) ) - Acute or chronic leukemia - Tissue damage, such as from burns.
High segs on a blood test is an elevated neutrophil count. It means that a bacterial infection is present in your body. High abs means you have an elevated white blood cell count and infection or leukemia is present.
If you have a white blood cell count of 30,000, your doctor will most likely run more tests to figure out why you have a high count. High white blood cell counts can be caused by anemia, infections, inflammatory disease, or leukemia.
