8. Frequent infections and fevers.
Both severe and chronic leukemia greatly suppresses the body’s immunity, frequently causing serious bouts of fever which may unusually take longer as opposed to a fever that occasionally accompanies the flu. With the chronic leukemia condition, these fevers may be a bit inferior. With acute leukemia, you will more likely to get seriously high bouts of fever. It may also come to your attention that you are pretty much getting infections more often than you normally do. This is mainly because the cancerous blood cells, often known as blasts, start flushing out the normal white blood cells. Lack of a sufficient number of white blood cells in the body means that they cannot perform their role of protecting the body against infections effectively.
