LEUKEMIA


LEUKEMIA

It is a malignant progressive disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs produce increased numbers of immature or abnormal leucocytes. These suppress the production of normal blood cells, leading to anemia and immunological symptoms.  It has a prevalence of about five per 100,000. acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is predominantly seen in children while acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) is predominant in adult patients.
