ALL occurs when immature, malignant white blood cells overproduce and crowd the bone marrow. The cells affected are immature forms of lymphocytes called lymphoblasts. The lymphoblasts out crowd other white blood cells in the marrow this means that healthy cells are out crowded and die off while the immature ones continue to replicate essentially causing the body to have a lot of white blood cells that are flawed and do not protect from infection.

Aids is said to develop when?
The specific opportunistic infections that AIDS patients develop depend in part on the prevalence of these infections in the geographic area in which the patient lives. See related link.
What kind of infections do people with compromised immune systems get?
People with comprimised immune systems are susceptible to all the infections commonly found in the population. They are also able to develop "opportunistic infections." There are a variety of opportunistic infections. A few include thrush, kaposi's sarcoma, pneumocystis pneumonia and cytomegalovirus.
What disease does HIV bring?
HIV infection will bring in the dreaded syndrome called as AIDS. It may take up to eight years to develop the AIDS. If you are on proper therapy, the duration to develop the AIDS is prolonged to many years. In case of AIDS, you immunity is suppressed. You get infections by opportunistic infections.
What kind of leukemia can you develop from bloom syndrome?
acut lymphoplastic leukemia
Opportunistic infection may develop when?
Opportunistic infections may develop when a person's immune system is weakened or compromised, allowing normally harmless microorganisms to cause illness. This can happen in conditions such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, organ transplant recipients on immunosuppressive therapy, or individuals taking certain medications that suppress the immune system.
What condition can develop into leukemia?
myelodysplastic syndrome
Why does anemia or thrombocytopenia develop in patients with leukemia?
Hematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow. Leukemia is a kind of blood or bone marrow cancer which disrupts regular function and production of blood cells. A person with leukemia can not produce regular, healthy blood cells and that's why this person develop anemia.

What are the symptoms of CGD?

What age does Hairy cell leukemia begin at?
The median age at which people develop HCL is 52 years.
What are two diseases caused by opportunistic pathogens that a person with aids can get?
Two diseases caused by opportunistic pathogens that a person with AIDS can develop are Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) and candidiasis. PCP is a severe lung infection caused by the fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii, while candidiasis, often referred to as thrush when it affects the mouth, is caused by an overgrowth of the yeast Candida. These infections take advantage of the weakened immune system in individuals with AIDS, leading to significant morbidity.
