About Us Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infection is responsible for more deaths among cats than any other infectious disease. The virus affects domestic cats and occurs in some wild felines as well. Types of FeLV There are three main types of feline leukemia virus: FeLV-A, FeLV-B, and FeLV-C. FeLV-positive cats can be infected with one, two, or all three types: FeLV-A occurs in all FeLV-infected cats and causes severe immunosuppression (weakened immune system).

She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on May 8, 2003. A little tutorial about Complete Blood Count. Here are the normal values: Red blood cells (RBC) 4.2 – 6.0 million/mm3 Hemoglobin (HGB)12 – 18 g/dl Hematocrit 36 – 52% Platelets 150,000 – 450,000/mm3 White blood cells 4,000 – 11,000/mm3 ANC (infection fighting indicator) must be >1500 to fight infection Many people are asking how they can help. First of all, you all can donate blood. Even if Julia does not need it, it may help other kids. Children like Julia usually have many whole blood and platelet transfusions during treatment. If you wish, you can go to the Children's Hospital in DC and donate blood in her name (this does not mean that she will get it). By the way, her blood type is B+. Second, Julia loves getting mail. You can drop her a note or a card if you feel like. If you need our home address, please e-mail me at lolafox@yahoo.com (I'd rather not post it on the web.)

Science Education Science articles that you can understand Feline Leukemia Posted by phabriga@students.wisc.edu , 9/7/00 at 10:36:32 AM. This article is one of the science education sites most popular. Read and enjoy Feline Leukemia is a retrovirus that is responsible for more deaths in cats than any other single cause. It was discovered in 1969 and believed to have originated from rat chromosomal DNA. There are ways of protecting a cat from this virus and it is also an easily detectable virus, but once the disease infects, chances of survival are small. Feline Leukemia has the same effect as AIDS does in people, it destroys the cat's immune system.(1) The cat's immune system can limit or eliminate the virus. About 40% of cats extinguish the virus with 16% of these fighting it off due to minimal exposure to the virus because of their isolated behavior and the other 24% resist the disease at phase 4. All of this usually occurs between 16-18 weeks after the FeLV infection began. About 20% of the cats put the disease in a latent stage. The disease will remain in this latent stage until the cat becomes stressed and then FeLV will re-emerge. About 5-10% of cats go through a sequestered stage in which viremia is limited, intermittent, or absent altogether. However the cat can still shed the virus through blood, urine, and in its milk. This leaves a total of about 30% of cats that just go through the disease from start to finish normally resulting in death.(1) Testing for cats is important, because a viremic cat may seem healthy but its immune system can be so surpressed that even a weak virus can initiate a disease. The cat would also still be shedding the virus and transmitting it to other cats. There are three tests the IFA, ELISA, and VI tests. Indirect Immunefluorescence Assay(IFA) looks for structural antigens in cytoplasm of FeLV cells and was the first practical diagnosis test for any animal retrovirus. VI test measures the number of replicating FeLV particles in plasma, serum, saliva, urine, tissue fluids, tissue homogenates, or spent tissue culture medium. IFA and IV are the best tests with a correlation of 98% between the two. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA) tests for soluble p27 in serum, saliva, tears, tissue, fluid, or solubized tissue homogenates. The overall agreement of the ELISA and IFA is 49%, but it has same day results where the others take 10-14 days and are very expensive.(1)

(CNN) In 1998, Barenaked Ladies hit it big with the catchy pop tune "One Week." But as the song climbed the charts, the band's keyboardist, Kevin Hearn, was fighting for his life. The symptoms had started the year before. First was the cough that wouldn't go away. It was followed by a loss of appetite, fatigue and bloody noses. "That's when I went crazy," Hearn said. "I never get bloody noses." Hearn went in for a checkup, and when the results came back, his doctor gave him the first hint there could be a serious problem. As Hearn recalls, "She came back and said, 'I want to send you to a specialist to have an ultrasound. If you can call a family member, that will be a good idea.'" That was the day Hearn found out he had leukemia. "When I heard it was a form of cancer, I started to worry and I was in denial," Hearn says. "I asked the doctor when [could] I go back to work. He put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'You might not go back to work. You might not be alive in five months.' I broke down and cried."

Home Services Contact Links ... Chemotherapy Drugs Leukemias Leukemia is a cancerous disorder of the blood cells . There are a variety of Leukemias, each with its own peculiar signs, symptoms, prognosis and behavior. Approximately 30,000 Americans develop some sort of leukemia every year. There are four major types of leukemia: Acute Myeloid Leukemia Acute Lymphoid Leukemia Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia Acute Leukemia refers to Leukemia which, if left untreated, can cause fatal complications in a very short period of time. Chronic Leukemias, on the other hand, if left untreated in some cases may not cause any immediate problems at all, even for years. Hairy Cell Leukemia is an entity of its own that will be discussed separately. When Leukemias progress, they can cause a rise or decline in the number of blood cells. Even though the total number of blood cells may be elevated, in most instances, the count of normal blood cells is reduced. This is due to overproduction of the leukemic cells that result in overpopulation of the bone marrow and suppression of normal blood cell production.

140. Living With Leukemia Although doctors call it a childhood disease, leukemia continues to strike more adults than children. Living With leukemia. by Carol Lewis. http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2002/202_leuk.html

Email this Page To a Friend U.S. Food and Drug Administration FDA Consumer magazine March-April 2002 Table of Contents Living With Leukemia by Carol Lewis It wasn't the flu-like symptoms that sent Neil Keller to the hospital one night in January 1995. It wasn't even the crippling back pain that left him virtually immobilized. It was the odd red stripe that Kathy Keller noticed running down the back of her husband's calf that prompted his sudden trip to the emergency room. Following his evaluation, the physical education teacher from Frederick, Md., learned that the red stripe was a blood clot. He also learned that he had leukemia and needed immediate medical attention. "I hastily left our two young children in the care of their grandparents because Neil was being transported quickly by ambulance to a special cancer center in Baltimore," remembers Kathy Keller. "It happened just that quickly." According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), about 30,000 new cases of leukemia were diagnosed in the United States in 2001. And even though it is thought of primarily as a childhood disease, the ACS says that leukemia strikes more adults than children. Anyone can get it, and like many forms of cancer, its cause is unknown. Certain risk factors, such as genetic conditions or adverse environmental exposure, are believed to increase the chances of developing the disease. Survival is strongly linked to age at diagnosis and the type of leukemia. Fortunately, the overall five-year survival rate for people with leukemia has tripled over the past 40 years. In 1960, the rate was 14 percent. By the 1970s, it had reached 35 percent. Today, the overall five-year survival rate is 44 percent.
