I have a genuine question, why do we have more white blood cells when we get infected? I never understood that.

Hi !

When you are infected by a desease for example, your body needs to fight it. To do that, it will produce more white blood cells wich have a large rôle in the immune system.

There are different types of white blood cells with different functions. If you have any other questions, feel free to come back !
