Question
After experiencing a high fever, a patient undergoes a blood test and the results show an elevated blood count. Is this indicative of inflammation within the body?
Answer
The most common cause of an elevated blood count is infectious diseases, including bacterial, fungal, mycoplasma, chlamydia infections, viral infections, as well as malignant tumors. It is recommended to diagnose based on specific symptoms and use the corresponding antibiotics or antiviral medications for treatment. Once the condition is controlled, the elevated blood count typically improves. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the underlying cause and boost immunity.
