Most of the time, blood functions without problems, but sometimes, blood disorders or diseases can cause illness in children and teens. Diseases of the blood that commonly affect children can involve any or all of the three types of blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets). Other types of blood diseases affect the proteins and chemicals in the plasma that are responsible for clotting.
