Hairy Cell Leukemia
Leukemic reticuloendotheliosis is an old name for a rare type of blood cancer, also known as hairy cell leukemia, in which abnormal white blood cells are produced and accumulate in the blood, bone marrow, and spleen.
Possible manifestations: Fatigue, repeated infections, a tendency to bruise or bleed, and, frequently, enlargement of the spleen.
Why does it require study? Because it affects the normal production of blood cells, it needs confirmation through specialized testing.
Recommended professional: Although it may be detected at a general medicine visit, its evaluation falls to the hematologist, a specialist in blood diseases. If you have persistent fatigue with frequent infections or unexplained bruising, the advisable step is to have it evaluated by this professional to guide the necessary testing.
