Can whooping cough cause high lymphocyte?

lymphocytes are generally elevated in viral infections and leukemias and lymphomas. Most bacterial infections cause a high white blood cell count but the particular population of cells that is relatively elevated is the granulocyte, not the lymphocyte. Whooping cough is a bacterial infection and thus we would expect elevated granulocytes, not lymphocytes. With that being said, whooping cough is a strange type of bacteria and actually DOES cause high lymphocytes. This correlation is so strong that the level of lymphocytes actually correlates to the severity of the disease.
