How white blood cells are affected by leukemia?

Answer:

Leukemia is when the cells in the bone marrow start rapidly multiplying out of control.

Undeveloped white blood cells start circulating in the body, causing a high white blood cell count.

This causes non-leukemic cells to not function properly.
