A member asked:
Would a throat virus/bacteria infection show on a full blood count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: A viral infection causing pharyngitis or a sore throat often is associated with normal blood work. A bacterial infection would be more likely to cause an elevation of your white blood cell count in your blood work.
