Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When you get sick, your body makes more white blood cells to fight the bacteria, viruses, or other foreign substances causing your illness. This increases your white blood count. Other diseases can cause your body to make fewer white blood cells than you need. This lowers your white blood count.

Detailed explanation-2: -Different Types of White Blood Cells Neutrophils are infection fighters that increase during bacterial infections (neutrophils are also known as granulocytes (grans), polys, PMNs, or segs). Lymphocytes, on the other hand, can increase in cases of viral infections.

Detailed explanation-3: -A high white blood cell count usually means one of the following has increased the making of white blood cells: An infection. Reaction to a medicine. A bone marrow disease.

Detailed explanation-4: -This condition is created when the body is having an allergic response or is infected by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Based on the nature of the infection, it takes the body up to 5 to 25 days for the white blood cell count to return to normal.

Detailed explanation-5: -One of the most common causes of a low white blood cell count is a viral infection. These infections can sometimes temporarily disrupt the bone marrow’s production of blood cells, so blood cell counts drop. The counts typically rebound as the body recovers from the infection.
