120
Q

Leukemia symptoms

A

Bleeding gums, anemia

121
Q

Leukemia treatment

A

Radiation, chemotherapy, bone marrow transplant

122
Q

Massive accumulation of lymphatic fluid in body tissues, causing abnormally large growth of tissue areas

A

Elephantiasis

123
Q

Elephantiasis etiology

A

Caused by obstruction of the lymph vessels by tiny worms (filariae) that are common in tropic and subtropical areas

124
Q

Elephantiasis symptoms

A

Fever, chills, ulcer formation

125
Q

Elephantiasis treatment

A

126
Q

The sickled cells are more fragile and cause pain as vessels are blocked and less oxygen is delivered

A

Sickle cell anemia

127
