∙ 7y agoThere is no other name for this disease. It isn't a bacteria or a virus. The term means white (luek-) blood (-emia). When a person looks under a microscope at a slide with normal blood on it, they will see mostly red blood cells (RBCs) and 1-3 white blood cells (WBCs), motly lymphocytes. In a person with leukemia, the slide would show a tremendous number of WBCs. Because of this, a patient would have problems with transporting oxygen to the cells in the body and he would feel as if he couldn't breathe.
Common reasons for a high lymphocyte count include infections, autoimmune disorders that cause chronic inflammation and cancer of the lymphatic system or blood. Some specific illnesses include whooping cough, vasculitis, tuberculosis, viral infections, multiple myeloma, mononucleosis, HIV/AIDS, cytomegalovirus infection, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia
