Which cell will respond whether you have viral infection or bacterial infection?
bacterial..you can't really cure viral infections, only bacterial infections..hence anti-bacterial as antibiotics for a bacterial infection
A sudden increase in the number of white blood cells in a human may be an indication of?
An Infection
What would a White blood cell count of 35000 mean?
The normal range for this blood count is between 4500 to 10,000 white blood cells per microliter. A white blood cell count that is above this range can indicate a medical problem, such as leukemia, ovarian cancer, and sepsis.
How do white blood cells form?
White blood cells form in response to an infection. As soon as the body detects a viral or bacterial infection, the immune system starts producing an army of white blood cells. They are produced in the bone marrow.
Does a vaginal bacterial infection cause your white blood cell count to be high?
bacterial infections usually result in a higher white blood cell count due to the reactivity of your immune system. More leukocytes would be release into the blood stream so that they could reach and target the infected area.
An elevated count of which type of white blood cell is an indication of a bacterial infection?
White blood cell count is likely to drastically increase, or decrease, if a bacterial infection is present. White blood cells are normally fewer then red or platelets however, WBC primarily fight over infection, sicknes, etc. so they will be affected more so than RBC or platelets.

The cells capable of fighting bacterial infection in the body are?
it is white blood cells
What fights bacterial infection?
White blood cells. specificly neutrophiles and macrophiles.
Is neutrophils a bacterial infection?
no, neutrophils are a type of white blood cell which fights infection, primarily bacterial infection. A high neutrophil count can therefore suggest the presence of a bacterial infection but may point to other things

In what two ways do white blood cells work?
protect from bacterial infection increase our immunity

What do white blood cells in CSF signal?
Normal CSF should contain no infection-fighting cells (white blood cells), so the presence of white blood cells in CSF is another indication of meningitis.
What is the definition of segmenters in the blood?
The definition of segmenters in the blood can be described as a type of white blood cell that respond to bacterial infections. Where the blood count has high levels of segmenters, this indicates the presence of a bacterial infection. Where there is a low level of segmenters, the patient is likely to be suffering from a viral infection or an autoimmune disease.
Why do i have red eyes with some white specs on my contact lenses- could it be a bacterial infection?
bacterial infection
What is the effect of a bacterial infection on the hematocrit?
Its really simple if you think about it. if you have a bacterial infection your white blood cell count would increase because as the wbc's are fighting off the infection they die off releasing a chemical into the blood stream that tells your body to increase production of white blood cells. so the hematocrit would have a thicker buffer layer. the buffer layer being the white blood cells. With a higher production of white blood cells the rbc production would very slightly decrease which would decrease the ratio of rbc to whole blood volume.
