An infection may decrease the red blood cell count. For example, ebola will do so.
Not to any appreciable degree. If your white blood count is high, you probably have an infection of some kind.
Yes, having herpes virus can sometimes lead to a decrease in white blood cell count, especially if the infection is active and causing inflammation. It is important to monitor the white blood cell count and consult with a healthcare provider for proper management and treatment.
Yes. The infection from infected teeth can affect your whole body. Your infected teeth can even affect your heart and cause your death. The high white blood count could be the least of your worries.
A trypanosome infection can lead to a decrease in white blood cell count, particularly lymphocytes, as the parasite affects the immune system and can directly infect and destroy immune cells. Additionally, the infection can cause other changes in the immune response that may result in a decrease in white blood cell production.
Ringworm, a fungal infection of the skin, typically does not directly affect blood counts. However, if the infection leads to a significant inflammatory response or secondary bacterial infection, it could potentially cause changes in white blood cell counts. In some cases, chronic infections may lead to mild anemia or other blood count alterations due to the body's response to prolonged illness. Overall, blood count changes are not a primary concern with ringworm.
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 a bladder infection cause a low white blood count
yes
If white blood cell count is high that means the body is responding to an infection.
yes.And the white blood cell will count very high due to the infection of apendicsus.
A decreased blood cell count could be the result of a medical condition affecting the bone marrow where blood cells are produced, chronic diseases that affect blood cell production, certain viral infections, or nutritional deficiencies.
This is difficult to answer without knowing other details and blood results. CRP is an infection marker. It is raised if you have an infection. 68 is only a mildly elevated CRP and it has further decreased to 38 which indicates that the infection is healing. If there are no other clinical signs of infection, I would not worry.
