==Differenting Chronic lymphocytic leukemia from other Diseases==
==Differenting Chronic lymphocytic leukemia from other Diseases==
===Differentials based on Biomarkers===
* Chronic lymphocytic leukemia must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [[weight loss]],  [[night sweats]], [[hepatosplenomegaly]], and palpable [[lymph node]]s, such as [[hairy cell leukaemia]], prolymphocytic leukaemia, [[follicular lymphoma]], and [[mantle cell lymphoma]].
* Based on the expression of cell surface markers, the table below differentiates chronic lymphocytic leukemia from other diseases that cause similar clinical presentations:

* Chronic lymphocytic leukemia must also be differentiated from other causes of fever, hepatosplenomegaly, and lymph node swelling such as:
:* [[Splenic marginal zone lymphoma]]
:* Nodal marginal zone [[lymphoma]]
:* [[Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma]]
:* [[Sézary syndrome]]
:* Smoldering [[adult T cell leukemia]]
===Other Differentials===
The following table differentiates chronic lymphocytic leukemia from other leukemias that may present with similar clinical features such as [[fever]], [[fatigue]], [[weight loss]], recurrent [[infections]] and elevated [[leukocyte counts]]. The following are the differentials:
