In people with various allergic reactions, the likelihood of developing blood cancer is slightly higher than in healthy.

This was reported by researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

As shown by their studies, during which more than 8,000 pairs of twins were examined, the presence of a hay fever in a person increases the likelihood of developing leukemia 2.1 times, the presence of bronchial asthma - 1.6 times.

And skin eczema was associated with a risk of lymphoma - its presence in the history was accompanied by an increase in the probability of development of this tumor in 2,3 times.
