Abstract:
The chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells are not only tumor cells, but also immune cells. Dysfunction of these tumor cells can induce many kinds of autoimmune diseases, which mainly are hematological complications. The clinical manifestations involve decreased amount of erythrocytes, platelets, or leukocytes. The pathogenesis of such complications is not very clear. Misdiagnoses and missed diagnoses often occur. Generally, the treatment protocols are similar to those of primary autoimmune diseases. The main concerns are how to give considerations to both chronic lymphocytic leukemia and autoimmune diseases simultaneously.
