Does high white blood cells mean that tuberculosis is not yet well?
High white blood cells do not necessarily mean that tuberculosis is not good. There are many causes of elevated white blood cells, such as physiological factors such as strenuous exercise and emotional agitation, as well as pathological factors such as infectious diseases, tissue damage or necrosis, toxic reactions, and allergic reactions.
1. Physiological factors
1. Strenuous exercise: After strenuous exercise, the body's metabolism accelerates and the blood flow speed increases, which can lead to an increase in white blood cells;
2. Emotional agitation: When people are nervous and fearful, sympathetic nervous excitability increases, adrenaline secretion increases, and white blood cells can also rise.
2. Pathological factors
1. Infectious diseases: When the body is invaded by bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma and other pathogenic bacteria, it will stimulate the body's immune system to produce a stress response, resulting in an increase in white blood cells. At this time, patients are often accompanied by symptoms such as cough and sputum production, and need to use amoxicillin capsules, ribavirin tablets and other drugs for anti-inflammatory treatment according to the doctor's instructions;
2. Tissue damage or necrosis: If trauma or acute myocardial infarction occurs, it will also lead to abnormal elevation of white blood cell levels;
3. Poisoning reactions: such as food poisoning, drug poisoning, etc., toxins will affect the normal metabolism and function of white blood cells after entering the body, so that their number increases;
4. Allergic reactions: If you are allergic to a substance, you will have an allergic reaction after exposure to that substance, which may also cause abnormal levels of white blood cells.
In addition to the above common conditions, having a disease such as a malignant tumor can also cause abnormal white blood cell counts. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis, and actively deal with it under the guidance of the doctor.
