A member asked:
What cells in high blood count are most associated with infection?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies: With acute bacterial infections the polymorphonuclear leukocyte is the most common response (neutrophils). In viral infections the response is often lymphocytic. In some parasitic infections one may see eosinophils. This is one reason why differential white blood cell counts may be so important.
