What type of anthrax raises cell count?
Inhalation anthrax, also known as pulmonary anthrax, is the type of anthrax that can cause a significant increase in the white blood cell count, specifically affecting the number of neutrophils. This increase in cell count is part of the body's immune response to the anthrax infection.
When high white blood count is bacterial infection the cause?
High white blood cell count could be due to any type of infection or a bone marrow problem. Also possibly chronic disease such as Tuberculosis or drugs like AZT.
When do wbc increase?
The white cell count increase in your body when you get some bacterial infection, usually extra cellular type.
What causes a high wbc count?
Many things can cause a high WBC count. One of which is infection. WBCs fight foreign bodies in our system that's why if there are viruses, they would increase in count. It's part of the body's defense system. Another possible reason is if there are abnormalities in the blood producing organs of the body. For instance, with Leukemia, there is an abnormally high production of WBC.
Which type of infection is there which causes high lymphocyte count?
viral infection
An elevated count of which type of white blood cell is an indication of a bacterial infection?
White blood cell count is likely to drastically increase, or decrease, if a bacterial infection is present. White blood cells are normally fewer then red or platelets however, WBC primarily fight over infection, sicknes, etc. so they will be affected more so than RBC or platelets.
Can arthritis cause an elevated white blood count in felines?
This will depend upon the type of arthritis the cat has. In general, degenerative arthritis (the kind your cat gets because he/she is older) should not cause an elevated white blood cell count. However, there is infectious arthritis which would cause an elevated white blood cell count - this would be a good reason for a veterinarian to carefully collect some joint fluid for analysis, because infection in the joints is both painful and difficult to treat.
In what type of infection is the host cell not destroyed?
Lysogenetic infection
What are the organs affected by Leishmania?
Leishmania primarily affects the skin, spleen, liver, and bone marrow. The parasites infect macrophages in these organs, leading to a range of symptoms depending on the type of leishmaniasis infection.
What does mild neutrophillia mean?
Mild neutrophilia refers to an increase in the number of neutrophils, which are a type of white blood cell responsible for fighting infection. This condition can be a sign of inflammation or infection, but further investigation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
What is the type of infection in which the host cell bursts and is destroyed?
lytic infection
Is neutrophils a bacterial infection?
no, neutrophils are a type of white blood cell which fights infection, primarily bacterial infection. A high neutrophil count can therefore suggest the presence of a bacterial infection but may point to other things
