Yes, infections can cause low or elevated white blood cells. Viral infections often cause low white blood cell counts. Also, very serious bacterial infections that overwhelm the immune system can cause it as well.

Almost all types of bacteria cause an elevation in the white blood cell count, since they are the cells that are in the immune system and whose job it is to attack bacteria.
