Leukemia occurs when the white blood cells are replaced by rapidly multiplying cancer cells, and the white blood cell count declines.
It is an extremely dangerous disease, because normally, the white blood cells help fight off infection, or unfamiliar cells. It becomes very easy for a person with leukemia to get an auto-immune infection due to lack of antibodies. The circulatory system and internal organs may get to be so overwhelmed with cancer cells, that eventually, they may start to fail to work properly. This will result in death.
