Can influenza A cause a decrease in white blood cells

Influenza A, also known as Influenza A, is caused by an infection with the influenza A virus and can cause a decrease in white blood cells.
Influenza A, a viral infection, decreases the body’s immune function after infection with influenza, which induces an immune response that can cause a drop in white blood cells and low neutrophils.
In viral infections, white blood cells can be normal or low, and in combination with bacterial infections, white blood cells can be elevated.
Influenza A can cause low white blood cells, but low white blood cells are not always due to influenza A. There may be other causes, such as hematologic disorders, and in the case of severe bacterial infections.
After diagnosis of influenza A virus infection, it is necessary to pay attention to rest, drink plenty of fluids, carry out antiviral treatment and symptomatic supportive therapy, etc. If the effect is poor, further examination can be carried out to confirm the diagnosis. Rule out other causes of lower white blood cells.
