A member asked:
Does syphilis cause white blood and red blood cell count to increase or decrease?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually neither. WBC and RBC counts are not useful either to diagnose syphilis or to rule it out. Only syphilis blood tests themselves can tell whether or not someone is infected.

Acute infection causes WBC to rise. It has no affect on RBC
