Leukemia

Explanation:

Leukemia is the cancer of the white blood cells (Leukocytes). Leukemia is characterized by an abnormally high amount of white blood cells which is usually very fatal to the body. It hinders the body from fighting against pathogens and foreign bodies which leads to decreased immunity.

Romaine had low immunity and constant infection together with a high amount of white blood cells. These findings validates Leukemia as the diagnostic cause.
