There are three main groups of blood cancers: 1. Leukemia. 2. Lymphoma. 3. Multiple myeloma. Leukemia. A diagnosis of leukemia is made when the cells that cause a cancer are found circulating in the bloodstream.ultiple Myeloma. This very complicated blood cancer is caused by the overgrowth in the bone marrow of an immune cell called a plasma cell, which secretes a protein into the bloodstream, called an âM-protein,â that can be detected by a test called an immunoelectrophoresis.
It appears to be set off by a virus transmitted by an insect bite. Penicillamine, nifedipine, captopril, enalapril or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs most often provoke drug-induced pemphigus foliaceus. If the drug is stopped, there is a 50% chance the pemphigus foliaceus will clear up.
Back to Top Causes. Pemphigus is an autoimmune disorder. The immune system produces antibodies against specific proteins in the skin and mucus membranes. These antibodies break the bonds between skin cells. This leads to the formation of a blister. The exact cause is unknown. Sometimes pemphigus is caused by certain medications, although this is rare. Medications that may cause this condition include: 1  A drug called penicillamine, which removes certain materials from the blood (chelating agent). 2  Blood pressure medications called ACE inhibitors.
