| control over the number and quality of white blood | | | | -fever that appears out of nowhere |
| cells (also known as leukocytes) that they produce, so | | | | -very frequent infections with viruses that are hard to |

| -acute Myelogenous Leukemia | | | | If he does, then it is continued, but even if the |
| -chronic Myelogenous Leukemia | | | | treatment manages to stop the defective cell |
| -acute Lymphocytic Leukemia | | | | production, it may still occur, even after a few years. If |
| -chronic Lymphocytic LeukemiaThe acute leukemia | | | | the treatment is successful the patient must return |
