This depends on the type of infection if it is a general infection from say a cut on your finger then white blood cells will go to the infected zone to fight the infection. If they die while fighting this infection then puss will form. some infections can kill you others are mild.
They are carried around the body in the circulatory system
it is white blood cells
White blood cells are our way of fighting infection. When we become infected with say the Flu Virus, our immune system manages to identify the virus cells and it then produces more white cells to destroy the viruses. If we have a low white cell count, then our abillity to fight infections is diminished or reduced. Hope this helps.
Yes. The primary function of white blood cells in fighting infection is phagocytosis, or the engulfment, (eating) of cells, cell fragments, and pathogens (bacteria, viruses, etc.).

Pus is an accumulation of white blood cells and dead leukocytes. It is commonly seen in any area of the body that has become infected. It is the body's way of fighting the infection.

HIV infection or AIDS is the disease, which you have infection by HIV virus, that attacks disease fighting cells in the blood.

No. It is the breakdown of used neutrophils in an infected wound that forms pus. The neutrophils are a type of bacteria (or any foreign body) fighting white blood cells.
pus is a collection of living, dead and dying cells as a result of the body fighting a contained infection.

White blood cells fight infection while the red blood cells carry blood to your heart.
