What causes neutrophilia and lymphocytopenia?
Neutrophilia (elevated neutrophil count) can be caused by bacterial infections, inflammation, stress, or certain medications.

Both conditions may also occur in response to certain medical conditions or diseases.

It is important to practice good hygiene and food safety to minimize the risk of bacterial infections.

Yes, but it is far more likely that you would get sick from your dog. Humans usually are far more hygenic than dogs are. (We don't eat off of the ground, drink from puddles, eat sewage, roll in dead and decaying carcasses, etc.) And we don't go around licking the insides of just anyone's mouth that we get the chance to, while dogs may. There are a handful of viral infection that humans and dogs can share (such as rabies), but there is a whole wonderland of bacterial and fungal infections that will infection anything they can get into.

How would the treatment of viral and bacterial pneumonia differ?
The supportive treatment for the symptoms would be mostly the same, but the medications used to directly fight the two different types of lung infections are different. Bacterial infections, including bacterial pneumonia, are treated with antibiotics. Since antibiotics are not effective against viral infections, the right medicines for the viral type of pneumonia might include anti-viral medications but usually not antibiotics. In both types of infections there can be a superimposed infection of the other type. For example, it is not uncommon for those with serious viral infections of the lungs to also end up with an opportunistic bacterial infection (i.e., one that might not be able to make you sick if it weren't for your already infirm condition), like bronchitis or bacterial pneumonia. Therefore, monitoring to identify any such secondary infections is also part of the treatment of both kinds of pneumonia to be sure that necessary medications are being utilized.
