Can whooping cough cause high lymphocyte?

lymphocytes are generally elevated in viral infections and leukemias and lymphomas. Most bacterial infections cause a high white blood cell count but the particular population of cells that is relatively elevated is the granulocyte, not the lymphocyte. Whooping cough is a bacterial infection and thus we would expect elevated granulocytes, not lymphocytes. With that being said, whooping cough is a strange type of bacteria and actually DOES cause high lymphocytes. This correlation is so strong that the level of lymphocytes actually correlates to the severity of the disease.

When lymphocytes and mcv are elevated?

Elevated lymphocytes, known as lymphocytosis, can indicate various conditions such as viral infections, chronic inflammatory diseases, or certain types of leukemia. An elevated mean corpuscular volume (MCV) typically suggests macrocytic anemia, often due to vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. When both lymphocytes and MCV are elevated, it may suggest a response to a viral infection alongside nutritional deficiencies or bone marrow disorders. It's essential to interpret these findings in the context of a patient's overall clinical picture and additional laboratory tests.
