Abstract
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is the most common type of leukemias. Normally, CLL is a disease of adults, but in most cases, it can occur in teenagers and occasionally in children (inherited). Most of the people are diagnosed without symptoms as the result of a routine blood test that returns a high white blood cell count. CLL is first suspected by the presence of lymphocytosis; however, it is increasing the number of adults with an increment of aberrant B cells populations before a lymphocytosis appears.
