Sick baby with low white blood cell count? - cold virus count
The reason why this is a long story, I do not feel like writing:)
But when a child (12 months) with a suspected virus is sick, should not his white blood cell count is high because the white blood cells are to fight infections? What happens when a child is sick (cold or flu, high fever) for 5 days and had a white blood cell count is below normal for a healthy child?
We thank you answers are appreciated.

Not necessarily, many viral infections, especially in infants cause defects in white blood cells in the blood.

Sometimes the number of white blood cell count is low, if an infection is so severe, the body can not produce cells that fight against the disease quickly enough to fight against the infection.
