An infection in the body might result in a sudden?

There are many different symptoms that can accompany infection in the body. However, I think what you are looking for is: It can result in a sudden increase in temperature or drop in blood pressure. These are all signs of sepsis, or toxic shock.


What causes an increase of white blood cells?

There are several reasons you may have an elevated absolute white blood cell count. The first would be infection, infestation or allergic reaction - the number of white blood cells is increased because the immune system is responding to a perceived threat. The second would be cancer - the number of white blood cells is increased because the cancer is spewing out too many cells. A distant third would be dehydration, which would artificially increase the absolute number of white blood cells per mL simply because there is insufficient plasma to dissolve them in - this would be a mild elevation, if anything, and consistent across all types of white blood cells.

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.
