If a person develops chronic lymphocytic leukemia, what leukocytes may be involved and how mature are they in the bloodstream? Common symptoms of all types of leukemia are caused not only by the poor functioning of leukocytes, but also by the loss of erythrocytes and platelets. These formed elements have a reduction in their number because the tissue that normally produces them is crowded out by the uncontrolled growth of the leukocyte-producing tissue. For each symptom below, state whether leukocytes, erythrocytes, or platelets are involved: anemia easy bleeding repeated infections enlarged lymph nodes shortness of breath excessive bruising
