What happens to the number of white blood cells when an infection is present?

The presences of a large number of white bloods are usually a good indicator of infection due to the fact that white blood cells fight off pathogens. If a wound becomes infected that means that bacteria, viruses, fungi, or any other type of foreign body then white blood cells rush to the site to try and prevent the infection from spreading.
