What are the reasons for elevated white blood cell count in blood routine test

A routine blood test is a relatively quick and affordable test that can quickly and intuitively show which virus is invading the body. One of the more important things is whether the white blood cell value in the routine blood test is normal. Usually, an elevated white blood cell value indicates that the virus is still developing and requires timely medication treatment. In fact, doctors usually need to consider whether to use antibiotics based on the results of this test. Nowadays, there are many cases of abuse of antibiotics in clinical practice in our lower-level hospitals. Not only do they fail to control the bacteria, but they also cause great damage to the human body's immunity. Next, let’s talk about the causes of increased white blood cell count in blood routine, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.
