Reduced levels of white blood cells, which normally defend the body from infection, can lead to higher chances of catching secondary diseases.

The organs affected depend on the type of leukemia. For example, the spleen, liver, and lymph nodes may become enlarged and swollen with the abnormal cells. Sometimes, leukemia cells reach the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and build up in the cerebrospinal fluid.
