Causes of high white blood cell count in children

The physical health of children is an issue that parents are very concerned about. If a child shows any abnormality, parents will definitely be very worried. Therefore, we suggest that parents should take good care of their children's health in daily life. Children are prone to various diseases. For example, some children will have high white blood cell counts in their bodies. So what exactly causes this?

1) Diseases caused by certain bacterial infections, especially local inflammation and systemic infection caused by pyogenic cocci, such as abscess, purulent meningitis, pneumonia, appendicitis, otitis media, tonsillitis, empyema, pyelitis, salpingitis, cholecystitis and sepsis, etc.

(2) Diseases caused by certain viral infections: Japanese encephalitis, infectious mononucleosis, measles, etc.

(3) Severe tissue damage or necrosis: such as after major surgery, burns, acute bleeding, severe trauma, vascular embolism, etc.

(4) Allergic reactions: such as transfusion reactions, drug allergies, acute allergic diseases, etc.

(5) Poisoning reactions: such as various drug poisoning, pesticide poisoning, heavy metal poisoning, diabetic acidosis, pregnancy poisoning, etc.

(6) Tumors and blood diseases: chronic myeloid leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, etc.

(7) The use of certain chemical drugs that increase white blood cells promotes an increase in white blood cells. This is often seen in patients whose white blood cell count decreases sharply during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and who need to increase their white blood cells as quickly as possible for the next course of treatment.

In the above article, we introduced an issue that parents are most concerned about, that is, the physical health of children. Some children will have symptoms of high white blood cell counts in their bodies. Above, we have analyzed in detail the reasons why children have high white blood cell counts.
