Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of lymphocytic leukemia or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). CLL is a type of leukemia that affects the B cells,which are created in the bone marrow,and fight infection. The disease damages the B cells' DNA,rendering them incapable of fighting infection. These damaged B cells reproduce uncontrollably,crowding out otherwise healthy lymphocytes,thus compromising the body's ability to fight infection even further. The disease occurs only in adults who are over the age of 50 | |
