A member asked:
If lymphocytes are normally in the 1000s can they be increased to strengthen the immune system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They may increase naturally when you have certain infection. We do not use medication to make that change but certain medications do have that effect. Steroids can increase total white cell count and the absolute lymphocyte count too but we consider it as an adverse effect, not using it to strengthen the immune system. In contrast, steroids may weaken the immune system.
