The white cell count increases in the blood when a person has an infection because the white blood cells help to fight infection. One action they take is
to raise the person's temperature on the premise that the elevated temperature
might kill the infected bodily parts.

Which blood cell increases due to an infection in the body?
White blood cells will increase to fight off the infection.
What is the effect of a bacterial infection on the hematocrit?
Its really simple if you think about it. if you have a bacterial infection your white blood cell count would increase because as the wbc's are fighting off the infection they die off releasing a chemical into the blood stream that tells your body to increase production of white blood cells. so the hematocrit would have a thicker buffer layer. the buffer layer being the white blood cells. With a higher production of white blood cells the rbc production would very slightly decrease which would decrease the ratio of rbc to whole blood volume.
Will infection cause blood glucose levels to increase or decrease?

Abnormal increase in the number of wbc?
