Is it up or down?

When you have a viral infection does you wbc travel up or down?Is it up or down?
The correct answer is "maybe." What's skilled in arts school is that WBC goes up beside bacterial infections, and perhaps down a bit next to viral infections. In the real world, it doesn't work that agency. It's not that unusual for klds with minor viral illnesses to enjoy a leukemoid reaction, near WBC's over 40,000, or for elderly patients with serious bacterial infections to enjoy a low WBC. Despite its popularity, the WBC is a test short sensitivity or specificity of a degree that can be trusted. An experienced physician's gestalt he get in that first instant of eyeballing the long-suffering is much more accurate, but don't look for the test to step away any time soon, and learn the bacterial high/viral low mantra.

some and not adjectives viral infections cause white count to shift down... sometimes very hazardously so...
with HIV, your WBC counts will shift down. but with most other acute viral infections, you'll see an increase within WBC counts, particularily the lymphocytes.
