Leukemia is an abnormal increase in whiteblood cells.
But there is not enough white blood cells that actually fight infection
Usually accompanied by fatigue and weakness and anemia
A good explanation from a site:
In a healthy person, the bone marrow makes the blood-forming cells that turn into the white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets in the blood. An ALL patient's marrow makes too many blast cells (immature white blood cells). These blast cells should turn into the white blood cells called lymphocytes, but they do not. So many blast cells grow that the marrow does not have room to make the normal red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. This causes these symptoms of ALL:
Anemia -- feeling tired, short of breath and looking pale, caused by too few red blood cells
Bruising easily and having cuts that heal slowly or not at all, caused by too few platelets
Having frequent infections, especially of the skin or ear, caused by too few normal white blood cells
