C91.7: Other lymphoid leukaemia
Other lymphoid leukemia is a type of blood cancer that typically originates in the lymphoid cells of the bone marrow. This illness is characterized by the excessive production of abnormal white blood cells, crowding out healthy cells and impairing the body's ability to fight infections. Symptoms often include frequent infections, fever, fatigue, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, and swollen lymph nodes. The introduction of these abnormal cells may also affect other body systems, like the circulatory or nervous system, potentially leading to complications. The cause of this type of leukemia is generally unknown, but contributing factors may include exposure to certain chemicals or radiation, specific genetic conditions, or certain viruses. This condition may progress gradually or rapidly, depending on its subtype and the patient's overall health.
