A member asked:
Does syphillis affect the white blood count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here are some ...: Syphilis is an infectious disease which will stimulate our body to fight for self protection so some elevation of white blood count may occur to reflect the degree of fighting ability and effort according to individual health and defense immune ability. Clinically, such change probably carries not much clinical relevance in management since the patient needs to be treated and followed with testing
