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.

In the blood or the bone marrow.
Leukemia usually starts in the white blood cells. Your white blood cells are potent infection fighters and they normally grow and divide in an orderly way, as your body needs them. But in people with leukemia, the bone marrow produces a large number of abnormal white blood cells, which don't function properly.

Can you tell if someones not a virgin just by looking?
There's no real way of knowing. It is said that girls bleed on their first time. You could argue that fact and say that she planned it to be on that time of the month (if she told you previous to sex that she were a virgin). Physically, you can't tell. There is of course the argument that the hymen (a thin layer of membrane that protects the opening of the vagina from birth) being torn is a good indication, but as it says in the wikipedia online, "The hymen is a thin membrane of connective tissue which is situated at the opening of the vagina. As with many female animals, the hymen covers the opening of the vagina from birth until it is ruptured during activity. The hymen may rupture during sexual or non-sexual activity. Vaginal penetration may rupture the hymen. A pelvic examination, injury, or certain types of exercises, such as horseback riding or gymnastics may also rupture the hymen. Sexual intercourse does not always rupture the hymen.[5] Therefore, the absence of a hymen does not necessarily indicate prior sexual activity" (cut and pasted from the wikipedia : vagina).
So in conclusion, (and after all that....) you can't tell.
Obviously u cant tel by looking at her although after having sex a virgin would usually bleed because the hymen has been raptured. Although sometimes the virginity may be lost through certain activities like bike riding etc. But this rarely happens
You want to know if a guy can tell if a girl's a virgin, right? Not always. Girls have a "hymen" a tissue across the vagina that protects her body from infection until she's ready for sex, but the hymen can be broken by other activities as well, so the absence of it doesn't mean she isn't a virgin.
Now -- can a girl tell if the guy's a virgin?
