There are acute and chronic neoplastic diseases affecting the white blood cells. then you have various Infectious Diseases which affect the white blood cell count. Typically the intracellular infections give rise to low or normal blood cell count. Like viral infections (except infectious mononucleosis, perhaps), reckettsial fevers, chlamydia, typhoid and malarial fever. Almost all the extracellular infections give rise to increased white blood cell count. This happens probably because the intracellular organisms are not available for phagocytosis and extracellular organisms are available for phagocytosis.
