What happens if the white blood cells are not able to stop invading pathogens?

White blood cells are the good cells in the body. Yes you do need red and white blood cells, but the white ones fight off diseases or pathogens. If white blood cells cannot do this then the immune system fails. The pathogens depending on their severity, could hurt the body very much. Doctors do different tests and procedures to help this not happen. White blood cells are needed to protect the body from pathogens. When they cannot stop the invading pathogens, a person will most likely get sick. on NovaNet I'm pretty sure that the answer is the person will die:))
