Phagocytes are white blood cells that can take in, or "swallow," bacteria.
Paneth cells in the small intestine secrete lysozyme, an enzyme that helps protect the gut against bacterial infections by degrading bacterial cell walls. Lysozyme works by breaking down peptidoglycan, a major component of bacterial cell walls.
inflammation in general might cause high WBC count which is always caused by infection, also some types of leukemia (bone morrow cancer) might do that as well but the striking feature here is that the cells are (most of the times) abnormal.
No, an increase in white blood cells COULD do that. (but only if there is a lack of a certain type of WBC)
The normal white blood cell (WBC) count in ascitic fluid is typically less than 250 cells per microliter. When the WBC count exceeds this threshold, it may indicate an infection, such as spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), or other pathological conditions. A differential count can help further characterize the type of cells present, which can aid in diagnosis.
The function of WBC (white blood cells) is to FIGHT INFECTIONS

Aids, bacterial infection,leukaemia
That is a good question. WBC count should go up in bacterial infection, above 10,000 per cubic mm.
Low white blood cell count (WBC) can be caused by conditions such as bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, viral infections, chemotherapy, or certain medications. It can also be influenced by factors like nutritional deficiencies, radiation exposure, or certain genetic conditions.
WBC. Thats my guess. There is no medically accepted term for a white blood cell.
"Neut" is short for neutrophil, the most common type of white blood cells and the one most involved in fighting bacterial infections.
They are lymphocytes WBC.
