Fever, especially ones that last quite long and are unexplained, is one of the common signs of leukemia. Because this particular cancer alters the work of white blood cells, the immune system is affected, making a person become ill or get sick much more often. A fever is another one of the immune system’s ways of killing diseases by attempting to stave them off by increasing the body’s temperature. The chills are also a result from the fever and how the body’s increased temperature makes it feel like the climate is much colder than usual, making the body shiver uncontrollably in response.
