Viruses stay inside the cells. They can not be attacked by the white blood cells. Bacteria are usually stay outside the cells. They are readily attacked by the white blood cells. There is fight between white blood cells and bacteria. Pus contains the dead bacteria and dead white blood cells. That is why the pus formation occurs in bacterial infection only. This is the probable answer to above question.
