What do you think happens to the number of white blood cells when a person is fighting an infection?

In the early stages of an infection, most of the increase in WBCs is attributable to the increase in neutrophils. As the infection continues, lymphocytes increase. Worm infections can trigger an increase in eosinophils, whereas allergic conditions, such as hay fever, trigger an increase in basophils.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes a person to develop AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). AIDS is a diagnosis, not a disease.
