Leukima

Were you looking for information about Leukemia? Leukima is a common misspelling of leukemia.

Leukemia is a form of cancer that develops in the bone marrow. The bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells in people with this disease, making it difficult for blood to do its work. The exact cause of leukemia is not known, but researchers believe that people who work with high levels of radiation, have myelodysplastic syndrome, or work with certain chemicals are at a higher risk for developing it. Common symptoms include headaches, fatigue, and joint or bone pain.
