The white blood cell count of a person fighting a virus will vary. It depends on the actual virus the person is fighting and the overall condition of the health of the person.

What type of blood cell does AIDS infest?

AIDS or Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is caused due to infection by The HIV virus. This virus drastically effects our immune system. There are two kinds of lymphocytes (antibody realeasing WBC'S): - B-Lymphocytes- which travel around the body releasing antibodies. -T-Lymphocytes- which are responsible for fighting infection The HIV virus infects the T-Lymphocytes and takes control over the genetic material of the body forcing the production of more virus cells. As the host cell dies it produces more HIV viruses which go on to effect other cells of the body. Slowly the entire immune system of our body is crippled and the body becomes exposed to diseases such as pneumonia and certain cancers>


How do you get the epstein barr virus?

What does the viral load and CD4 count indicate?

The viral load is a measure of how much HIV is present in the blood. A high viral load count would indicate the person has many copies of the virus in their body. The CD4 count, on the other hand, indicates how many CD4 or T-helper cells the person has. CD4 cells are part of the immune system. When they are destroyed, their numbers drop. This is what the HIV virus does--it destroys CD4 cells. Therefore, if a person has a low CD4 count, that means that their immune system is not functioning well, if at all.


What effect can low white blood cells do to your body and the cure?

White blood cells are our way of fighting infection. When we become infected with say the Flu Virus, our immune system manages to identify the virus cells and it then produces more white cells to destroy the viruses. If we have a low white cell count, then our abillity to fight infections is diminished or reduced. Hope this helps.

An increase in these often mean that your body is fighting off an infection. Maybe a bacteria or a virus. It is also increased in inflammation. You need to talk to your doctor to get more information and any treatment.
