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

A 52-year-old woman was diagnosed with leukemia and has been receiving chemotherapy as an outpatient at the Fred Hutchison Cancer Clinic. She tells the nurse that she hasn't been feeling well. The nurse notices the patient's skin is warm to the touch and she has a low-grade fever of 100.2 degrees Fahrenheit. The nurse is concerned about the possibility of infection because of these signs and the patient's lab results indicating neutropenia. The best reason for the nurse's concern is: The chemotherapy drugs are causing an infection in the patient's blood vessels and she needs to cool her skin. Leukemia is not found in older women so the nurse has no need for concern. Low levels of neutrophils indicate the patient has a decreased ability to fight off infections through phagocytosis and cannot recruit more WBC's to the infection sites. None of the above
